I as well like the tan better, but everyone has different taste.
While unhooking my car trailer the other day I had trouble getting it up off the ball because the trailer was on a slight incline and was putting pressure on hitch. So I jumped in the X to move it forward a bit to take the pressure off and hopefully get the trailer off the ball. Well of coarse the hitch popped off the ball as soon as I moved some and took the pressure off and the trailer hitch hit the plastic in the middle of the bumper and marked it up.
So now that mark is gonna bother me until I get a new one.

My brother had a local do a black dye on his tan boards, I have yet to take pics, but they aren't holding up as well as hoped. I'll start a new thread with pics when I take some.

73smoke - you are right.... the black on tan looks much better than the tan on black
I have the chrome nerf bars and like the lighted steps, but the wife like the nerfs much better so...... let me work on her !

after i replaced my rear bumper covers, i was going to paint my running boards. After testing 4-5 products i found herculiner from fleet farm adhered the best. My wife didn't like the glossy/textured look. So the mod cost more that i wanted to spend, but it looks great!
