    NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE truck!!! I like the look of them and they bring out your wheels nicely. My goal is to eventually get my truck to look real similar to yours.

    Just ordered the Smittybilt/N-Fabs in stainless for $279. i'm getting there slowly but surely.

    I have the gray oval tube steps. Not sure what the real name is. I had them put on when I ordered my truck. It does take away from the height look of the truck. But i am also hoping they will keep the dents and scrapes off the side of the truck from rocks kicking up. My last yota didnt have them on and the whole lower door areas where chippped and scraped up pretty bad.

    Leave em on. Got them on my truck mainly to stop peoples doors from hitting mine in parking lots. How long have you had the Motometal wheels? Any pitting or peeling?

    On. They are already there and removing them would require work unless you remove them using the extreme trail removal method which involves rocks.
