Depends on the size of the pic... you can always upload to photobucket and put the link in with img tags if you want to.
Anyway, the extra chrome is what makes a truck stand out. Looks very nice!

They closed loop just like the factory ones.
I'm not sure they have the same rating but I have no intention of pulling anything or having my veh pulled by them.

Very nice additions!!!
Where did you purchase the chrome side molding? Are the ends of the molding strips rounded or curved? What is the thickness?

It's Cowles which is available at most automotive stores. I have the 3/4" width (height) on the back and 1/4" width on the sides. It is flexible and you can cut it with a utility knife. I cut mine at an angle but may redo it with a round cut.
It is just thinner than the top edge of theside molding.

RE: 07 Chrome strip and other changes
Thanks for the info. I'll probably get 1" for the back since it looks like 3/4" leaves a gap. I'd like to use the 1/4" or maybe get 1/2" to do the running boards as well. 1/4" seems to be the right height for the side molding.
Any recommendations against what I plan on using based on experience?

Tahoe looks great 07! What did you think about the installation of the door handles? Gotta love the instructions. Once you get the first one it takes about 15 minutes for the final 3, but the first one is a PITA. It was for me, i was afraid to break something.
3/4 for the boards is perfect. I also used it on the rear and thought it was a good size.

I have basicly the white version of your truck and have been thinking of installing the chrome hooks also, are yours the factory or aftermarket ones and where did you get them, what was difficult about installing them. I like the splash guards too are those fact or aftermarket?
