$347, polished s/s, didn't want paint or chrome that would eventually chip and peal. Take out the 2 body mount bolts on each side, they include longer bolts to attach them at the frame/body mount points, no drilling required. Took about a hour to install them. Made by Luverne, got them at a local truck speciality store.

The rear bumper needs to be painted, it sticks out WAY too much, and not in a good way, if you ask me...

Paint that, and THEN you'll be set exterior wise...

OH, ya, and take off the 4x4 decal...

Thought about that but no sure how much paint fade would be there.

How long has that been on there? I wouldn't think the paint should have faded much yet, especially since from the pictures you've posted it looks like you keep it pretty clean and well waxed.

If you do remove it I'd recommend 3m general purpose adhesive remover (red and white tin). It's what I used to remove my rear badges, didn't do any damage at all till I got impatient and ripped one off (luckily that was easily touched up).

dude, you should be able to just peel up a little bit of the sticker, and pull it right off...

When I pulled mine off it left zero residue...
