    Anyone have a 3rd gen and not painted it? I was initially interested in painting but kinda like the idea of the steel look.

    Thanks to those posting descriptions and pictures of their installs. Enjoying learning about your ease-of-install experiences and delighting in how good the skid plate looks on your trucks.
