    I'd leave em on if they get used, and they protect from door dings. They fit the truck fine since you have other chrome too.

    If they were black tubes I'd take them off your hands but please, no chrome for me. IMO tubes look much better than the boards.

    I'm not a fan of the chrome but I have a set of black ones on my truck. Not to sure I like them because if you have nice pants on in the rain they get the back of your pants wet/dirty unless you use the steps to get out.

    The only reason why I put mine on though was for the kids so they could climb up into the truck on their own (6 an 3 years old). My daughter wanted them on. Doesn't hurt that the wife is about 5"4' so it helps her get in as well. Function over form in my case.

    Leave them on if the wife wants them.

    I am having the same debate right now. I like them cause my girlfriend uses them for gettign in and out and scraping mud and dirt off her feet instead of inside the truck. I am however considering painting them black or even spraying some bedliner on them.

    I voted on because you already own them. I personally would buy sliders rather than tubes. But if you there already yours, leave them on. They look good.

    You have to make sacrifices for the wife, but I took those off my first Tacoma when I tried to get out after hitting a mud hole and ended up with dirt and crap all over my clean jeans!

    P.S. Who could say they don't like jelly beans?

    What I'm going to do is not what I want to do. I'll keep the steps for the wife I suppose. What I wanted to do is switch out all or most of the chrome on the truck to black but to hell with it- too much work. :rolleyes:
