I think just swapping out to the 99-03 grille/bumper would make a nice improvement. Nothing against the 97-98 grilles, but I like the 99-03's a little more is all. As far as a roll pan, I've thought about it too, but just haven't made my mind up. I like my stock bumper now that I painted the bumper pads to match.
I like my 97/8 front ends. Just too much chrome for me and i would love some fogs. That will for sure happen. You dont have steps on the sides either. And roll pans look cleaner imo on your style truck. But since i still use mine as a truck, i cant really do smooth side steps. And i feel this all ties in together.
How do ya feel with a roll pan, but the regular bed steps? The "steps" all around the rear will be smoothed, like the pics in first post
You talking about the textured steps? They won't look bad imo. I left my bumper pads textured and painted them.
I think it would still look good dude. I don't see them being smooth or textured making much of a difference looks wise.
