Anyone know where I can get some sliders like this. That is, a full sill replacement with no step, lightning holes, and hi lift points in it? (I don't necessarily like most of the linex vehicle - it's very much overdone - just the sliders)
Cheers
Tim.

Thanks for the link mate.
It all depends on how hard you "drop the side onto a rock", how much side clearance you want and if you want them to be a step. I have a custom set of Mulgo that I like, but I give them a hard time as isuzutoo-eh mentioned.Quote:

- If you will come down heavily on rocks then consider ensuring that your sliders have a bit of flex room before they touch a panel. Especially on their front and rear ends.
Here's the various sliders that I've had...
Terrafirma rock & tree sliders. Strong and have (a bit of) side clearance. Not very good as a step as they have no tread:

My current custom Mulgo sliders that have been on my last 2 defenders. Strong and plenty of side clearance which also allows a nice, broad tread plate. I've just had them lowered to give about 5mm extra clearance between the panels.

Scratch that. Dumb question.
Yes!!
That holds the firewall to the chassis!
Put it back!
In future use a LR mechanic! :)
