I bought some running boards, not my favourite mod, but in my case I have young kids so this is a step in for them, plus I drive gravel roads now and then so this should protect the paint. They are also good for gaining access to the roof rack.
Here are some photos in case anyone is interested. $150 shipped off of ebay.
My grille has Cloud Rider inserts installed, I will take them off when the weather gets hot, for now the lower opening allows good airflow. There is a separate insert for the lower opening, but the engine gets pretty warm with that insert installed, great for winter, not so great for spring/fall.
I realize running boards are not for everyone, I really debated on them, I even feared getting flamed by you guys for adding them, but at the price I got them for and the protection/utility they provide, I'm good with them.
