I can see that accessing the Defender without side steps might well be an issue, particularly for those that are "less mobile" like me, but I would've thought, well at least on a standard height vehicle, if ya had the factory side runners, accessing the front, on the passenger side, where there is a grab handle/bar for one to grab hold of, all would be well.

Be easier to swap the passenger for an updated 190 cm blonde model and keep the Puma standard :angel::wasntme:
No one should complain about getting into a defender until they've tried to gracefully enter a lotus elise. Not an easy task!
Climbing into a Defender is easy, and far less of a work out than a 785 or Dozer :)
