Stainless!! Oops, Chrome! Polished stainless would be better than chrome, but is alot more. I thought about putting chrome bars on mine back when I took the boards off, but like the no bar look better. I think there's still some pics in my gallery from when the boards were one. Looked terrible. Oh yeah, they were black.

Black, because they are cheaper, and you can easily re-paint them if they rust.Re-chroming is harder to do.
Stainless is best if $$$ is no object.

Black Baby..Works with any truck and you dont have to wax all the time.

Black! You've got a white truck with that tan second tone. Tone it down more get some big black ones and have'em run it.

The chrome steps would go good with the bumpers, wheels & headlights, also goes with the paint color.

But black also works.

Think of the cleaning you would have to do once the chrome steps got dirty.

I got chrome..Cleanin is the least of my worries. With the reg. brush a clean my truck off with then when I dry I do a little Never Dul on them and they look good as new. Also do this with the chrome bumpers

I like black, but for your truck I'd do chrome.

One more thing-if you can afford stainless, do it. I have chrome tips on my exhaust. Big mistake. The surface is all pitted and being overrun with rust. I held it off for a while with a cleaner called Noxon, but there's nothing I can do now. And for reference, I live near the coast, so salt and salt air is a problem. I had the option to do stainless, but I wasn't paying for it, so I had no say.
