Just got my leveling and 285/75r17s with step ?

[03EXPO4x4]

I am a new owner of a a 2003 EB 4x4. First thing I had to do was rough country leveling 2.5/1 and I got 285/75r17 Toyo at2s. Still need to get some aftermarket rims with a more negative offset to make them stick out more.

First day-


AFTER-






I took the factory step rails off because I didnt like how they where a different color. I have seen later year models with the arizona beige matching rails. Has anyone had any success painting these with a rattle can? Or any other ideas? I dont like the look of my frame showing either. So kinda torn.

I have matching on mine...I plan on taking them off but that wont be till summer of 2016

I don't get why mine aren't matching. It would look so much better. Don't know if I should just paint it or get some stainless still aftermarket step bars or what

Looks sharp!

You can paint the frame rails black; that'd help. Also - find custom rock sliders to fill that gap.

I have been looking for rock sliders but all I can find is black Harley bars

I'd look for some designed for a F150 - then have them modified.

Might be what i end up having to do or I am just going to get a set of harley bars painted to match my eddie bauer trim.

It looks like the running boards were replaced. I'm pretty sure all the EB's had beige running boards from the factory

Not true...I've seen a lot of EB with black running boards and those that I spoke to bout their truck brand new...best bet is aftermarket add-on at the dealership...still makes no sense

I think I am probably just going to get them painted when I get my mirror caps done.

Just to give you guys an update. Ended up just taking the running boards off and painting the frame black. Made it look a lot cleaner.
