    I just ordered some Elite Offroad bumpers for my truck and I've been trying to figure out colours. The rear will go black, that's not an issue at all. But the front one is up in the air, I have a drop down bracket lift in the front and will be getting a skid plate that fits once the bumpers come around. My current thought is to go black bumper and white skid. Bit the idea of white bumper is interesting too. Anybody have any ideas, input or photos?

    I would vote Black bumper and skid plates. I think the 1st Gens like ours look better that way. Have you thought about how hard white skids would be to keep clean?

    Either way, it's going to look great!

    White can look good if the rest of the truck permits it

    I vote all black. Personally don't like the look of body colored plate bumpers.
