Took the running boards off (pics)

Hey yall so after getting my truck lifted and having yall telling me to take the running boards off I photoshopped a picture of the truck with them off. It looked alot better so off they came. Took me about 45 minutes to get them both off in the driveway while it was pooring down raining. Well worth it. Woke up this morning and took some pictures first thing. Also took the spare tire off a few days ago.

And I know the truck isn't too clean, it rained yesterday anyway.

Before:




After:






It looks alot cleaner and more blacked out to me now, and looks higher. But thats just me.

I plan on painting the badges sometime soon.

I rather have my running boards but in your case I think it made your truck look better.

it does make the truck appear higher.. which i now lifted guys want more of...

however i think in some trucks it looks good regardless...i think maybe a different style board would compliment the truck....

nice! i took mine off a while back and sold them so i never can put them back on. i think the trucks looks alot better without them. they look taller and cleaner.

I cant wait till my 40's are on, people complain about getting into my truck now, they got another thing coming haha

Thanks alot guys!

Eff One Fifty: Get them a step ladder if they complain that much, cuz those new tires will look great

Grafix Ink.: Yeah maybe like Nfabs would work with it but really dont see dropping any money to change what the steps look like, this was free, making it alot better in my book lol.
