Just a couple of questions, need side steps, as I am having problems getting in and out, yeh I know, getting old they keep telling me. Do I go for OME side steps or get a bull bar with side bars and side steps. The salesman said he could get OME from England for $180 plus each side, with a 2 week waiting time. Also need a towbar for it, should I go for a Land Rover one or get a Hayman Reese.

Thanks in advance
Geoff.
At present in Southern NSW on the way home

Congrats on the new Defender, what colour did you get???

I had a problem with sidesteps LR said they did not offer OME steps for the new puma 130, so after doing some research, i got the pre puma TD5 steps, that were offered for both the 130 and 110 at the time. They look very smart, and LR have a shed load of then collecting dust, think they were around 450, and i ordered via my dealer. Fitting took around 45mins.... So well pleased...

Congrats on the new landy, may get a chance to give you defender wave. I will be in a puma 90 or td5 single cap tray back.

bloody hell Juddy ain't you learn't anything ?????????????
Pictures man pictures!!!!
I bought some rock sliders from a company here ....big mistake no fitting kit and it was not the same as the product illustrated on the website ....great...so show me yours or else

Ah, yes heres a picture of said steps. RAA604 Part Number....

Thanks everyone, I will ring Land Rover in Toowoomba and see what they can come up with. The colour is Alaska White, I should be home on the weekend sometime, will take some piccy's and post them. Having a good trip so far, am very happy with the vehicle, surprised with the amount of power from the 2.4 motor. Driving up the hill out of Adelaide, was in top gear all the way up and it just felt like I was driving on a flat road.

Cheers & Thanks
Geoff.

Tidy Juddy very tidy, might **** off the crap i bought for them the 130 is high enough not to smash them up on anything in W.A. apart from termite mounds !!
