    This is a tough question but after looking at the photos I vote white.

    Very happy with the setup from looks to handling. MPG, I honestly have no idea and haven't bothered to check. The tires are E which won't help mpg but I haven't had a flat in 10 years baring a rock slide last year that even took out the wheel.

    I say black, but I like 2-tone vehicles.

    What did you go through to get it completely white?

    Black! White is just too much in my opinion. And if you end up wanting to sell it for any reason, it is marketable to a bigger crowd.

    Agreed. Makes me want to throw up. White armor in general is fucking whack but ESPECIALLY on a white truck. Each to their own but hey the OP was asking for opinions!

    If you have a white truck... Either...

    If you have any other color... Black.

    Im a fan of color matched bumper. Maybe go both white and black as some time one color is just too much. take a look of my profile picture.

    Im waiting on my relentless bumper and have had the same debate. I like the idea on white on white (TRD OFFROAD), but black hides bugs and grime better. Along with the coating company Im using only offers black in a spray can for touch ups. https://www.kbs-coatings.com/BlackTop.html
