    Just want to know if my truck looks better with them on or off. I hardly go off-roading so rock sliders aren't an option.

    Buy sliders or if you don't need sliders for off road then buy the bolt on sliders. They look much better IMO. And for God's sake please no bull bar.

    Depends, I was going to take mine off, but my wife needed them to get in. Especially when she was pregnant. If it's just you, I'd say off and definitely no bull bar.

    We need to organize TWABB and clean up these streets. No one should have to see these things on our trucks. I'm a soc/psy grad, so I can handle the counseling.
