Should I remove the mud flaps and side steps?? I don't need them for anything other than looks.
What do you think would look better???
Thanks!
Matt

Would look Good without but depends where your Going with the Black Theme. In Alberta Mudd Flaps are Law on a Truck but not really enforced. The Dark Tinted Front Windows Look Good! FabTech Black or Painted White side steps would look Good if they Make Them for the 4th.

Edit: I mean't N-Fab (Thanks BNish17, Below)

I find that side steps do one thing and they do that one thing VERY well. They get my pant legs dirty. Unless lifted a ways, I'd take them off.

Mud flaps can be nice though. Depending on the roads you frequent, they can really save the truck.

100% take them off. NFab makes a amazing looking side step if you still need one.

Government of Alberta Ministry of Transportation: Vehicle Equipment Regulation

Basically if you can see any of the top half of the rear diff assy from behind then a Flap is required to take up the slack as a minimum, thats how I read it anyways. The Sheriffs seem to enforce this more than the Mounties and it just depends What you did to get Pulled over and what Mood the Guy is in. If he has to Walk up to You and Your window is Up and you have aftermarket Tint in the front well to me that would get a fellow off to a good start.

OP, Sorry for the Jack!

I'd also like to see more trucks without side steps. Debating on taking mine off.

No mud flaps on a truck is insane IMO. It will wreck the paint. They are a must have on my trucks. To each there own though I hardly ever agree with these new age mod ideas. :)
