Chrome nerf advice

Hey guys. Lurker that finally took the plunge. My dealer had to dealer swap for the exact truck I wanted to get in under New Years. Love the truck but there were a couple of dealer additions from the trade that I would not have chosen. Probably the biggest is the chrome nerf

Don’t really need them for function. I will eventually be de-chroming the Cement taco. Doesn’t make much sense to me to leave that much chrome.

Remove or try and paint black? I guess my instincts are just to remove, but I’m frugal and hate to just get rid of them

Advice?

 

Remove and sell for cash towards some beefy sliders if you ever plan to offroad. Or just buy some black steps.

 

Paint them black with bed liner and keep them on as they are good door ding protection

 

Is there an interest in OEM chrome runners? (Honest question, no snark)

 

Yeah someone will always buy them.

 

Ironically I think you’d have better luck selling on your local CL or Offer Up as most people who join TW are somewhat enthusiasts and go more for sliders or predator steps. Doesn’t hurt to post in both places. Selling them locally also has its perks with not having to ship.

 

Don’t try to paint chrome, in most cases it will eventually start to chip off.

 

Yeah. I think I’ll just try to sell them.

$150 if anyone is interested

 

Dont post that here until you have 50 posts or you could be banned for violating BST rules

 

Bedliner

 

Or maybe PM this OP since he is looking. But do it in private message.

Pull them and sell for $40 on Craigslist, they have the chrome they want and you have $40 you didn't have before.

 

Whoops. Hypothetical of course

 

Pretty smart. Never even considered that

Appreciate the advice guys!
