I just put mine on. Love the way it looks.

And they should save the edge of my seat!

Those look really nice on your truck. I have never really been a fan of nerf bars, but they look great on your truck.

Mine are black...for now. As soon as I can get some Mineral Gray paint from Chrysler I am painting them to match. Color match FTW!

Not yet, but its on my to do list. I'm having trouble deciding if the money in my toy budget should go toward steps or a new gun. Decisions, decisions.

@ jlasorsa11 that looks elegant!!! Nice!

@ miami son , interesting you mentioned the color match. I saw a red ram with the rhino side steps color mtched and looked nice. How do you think the color matched approach would look on a white express 2012 Quad Cab with some westin or aries 4" ovals?

I'm glad you posted this pic. I've really been thinking about a set for my truck. I think I'm just going to make my own set of nerf bars and instead of plain black I think I'm going to get them sprayed by the same guys who sprayed my bedliner with that same material.

Funny you should ask. This was my 2500 I traded in.

Mine are black and hardly noticeable. I think they match the black and red theme of the truck.

I've got em, pic in sig, love my black bars. They're way more subtle than chrome, highlight my wheels more, If I had chrome bars, I would've gone with black wheels I think.

I like these steps, what brand are they?

I believe they are the mopar bars. Everything exterior was on the truck when I bought it. When I went to the Ram site and looked at accessories, the mopar bars look the same.

I really like these because they fit the truck perfectly. They are very low profile.

I still need to get me a pair of black boards. Been having a hard time deciding between the mopars or a set of nfabs but I think I'll be going with mopar whenever I get them.

I remember this truck, one of the few v-10's on an older forum I use to be on.
