    My new 2017 off road came with Predator tube steps and mudflaps. I am looking to remove these and want to cover up the holes with the factory screw covers, but need to keep everything since this is a lease and I will make a decision to keep the truck in a couple years. Anyone have a source and/or part numbers?

    You're not going to turn the truck in. It'll beat residual by a decent amount to use as trade bait. So don't sweat the screw caps for that reason. Buy them if it bothers YOU only. They aren't going to scrutinize it to that detail anyway.

    I agree, it is unlikely that I will turn this truck in. I am more wanting them to protect the threaded holes for if/when I decide to add something like rock sliders or different mud flaps that is more durable than something like duct tape.

    If you are going to keep everything, you could always run the screw back in after removing the part if you are worried about dirt in the holes.

    I just took off my chrome oval steps so I can install my sliders. I also am concerned about the open bolt holes left behind. Do Tacos without side steps come with a plug/sticker over these holes?
    I'm not keeping the steps so the bolts need to go with them.
