Okay, Fellow Autopians!
I can't decide whether to leave the running boards on or take them off. So, I'm going to let you help me decide. Should I leave the running boards on or take them off?

If the truck had a 6 inch lift on it and looked a little more heavy duty then I would say keep them on. It looks a little too tame for the truck. JMO

The reason is that you truck is red, and everything else is colour keyed, including your tonneau cover. If you want to leave the 'boards on, then I think you should have them match the truck.
