Bed Rails Opinions Welcome

I've been debating on buying bed rails. Kinda like the Putco versions. Was wondering if anyone has any favorites or pics of theirs.

Thanks,

Matt

Not sure about the pics personally I thinnk it would clash with the lines of the truck. That being said, I think Westin makes good quality bed rails that are cheaper than Putco.

I've had a few sets of the Putco solid rails and have always really liked them. I don't think I would buy anything else. They install easy and can be moved from old truck to new truck very easily. The thing that I like and dislike at the same time about them is that they aren't drilled directly into the truck, so they could be easily stolen (which has never happened to me and I live in the city and my truck is always outside, but I'm always fearful that they will be gone in the morning).

Also, I've never had mine rust and I live in the road salt belt where everything rusts. My uncle has bought cheaper brands of bedrails and their rusty after one MN Winter.

Not a great pic. This is a Ford set of bed rails from my 1977. Had them on my
77, 88, 93, 97 and 2009 pickups. All aluminum, still look good.
