    I took my steps off today and was looking for some opinions. Should they stay or should they go? Sorry about the crappy photos.

    looks good both ways but I honestly like the look with them on. It kind of goes with your bull bar.

    Pull 'em and the bull bar at the same time. Otherwise leave them both on.

    Without both makes it look more capable. With both keep the chrome theme going and makes it look pretty.

    ^^ what those guys said. If you keep the bull bar, keep the steps. They compliment each other nicely.

    What would you say about having the steps and bull bar rhino lined or painted black? Then debadging the rest of the Taco.

    Had the bull bar and steps rhino lined black. I think it looks really good.
    I debadged the truck as well until some custom badges get here next week.
