    Pelfreybilt Sliders. :)

    I had N-Fab steps on mine. Then I realized I wanted to play off-road and got Sliders. I actually have better grip for my shoe/feet with sliders than the N-Fab steps provided me. And much better clearance! And real protection. :)

    It's a toss on what you like but many on here that have black have said after a couple years they start to chip, peel and rust. That said, I have had my ss steps on for about 4yrs living in Wi and they still look like new, and any time they get weathered looking, a little metal polish brings the shine right back.

    Almost everyone here goes with black. I went with chrome because of the lifetime warranty. The dealer even told me the black ones rust out in about 2 years. I'm also in a salt use area though. Looks better with my truck being white also.

    I have black N Fab's on mine but if I had lived in the rust belt I would have gone with stainless.
