Tube step delete mod

Pulled my tube steps off because i got tired of ramming my shins into them lol...i think it looks a HELL of a lot better without them and makes the truck look like it sits higher than it actually does

In the '70's and 80's it was running boards.Which rotted out the rocker panels.
In the 90's and 0x's it was tube steps.which smashed a lot of shins.

C'mon guys , WE have to design the next trend.
Let's get it right this time.

my truck is pretty beat up and i still park away and 3 times in the last month i've had to crawl into my truck from the passenger side because someone was parked so close i couldn't even get my foot through the door.
