    If it's protection you're after - you can use checker sill plates, or stronger still, rock sliders. Many aftermarket options are available for sliders (and checker plate sill protectors). I have checker plate around my sills (genuine) as I'm using my vehicle as a touring machine rather than a hard core rock crawler.

    Do you mean like the thumbnail? This is the one fitted to Xtremes.

    They are a good step, but don't offer much protection. In fact they hang low & get clobbered sometimes.

    I still would like to get the side bars that are in Max's photo. So far, I can't get my dealer or other dealers to tell me the model number. Scallops, I called your dealer's parts department and they didn't know, but said they would call me back ( three days and no call). My new Defender has arrived at the dealership.

    Also, I'm told that Land Rover tow bars aren't going to be available until the end of the month. Any comments from dealership members?

    I had hoped to have all the Land Rover accessories installed at the time the vehicle was delivered. I'm disappointed that it looks like I will not get the Defender with all the factory accessories.

    It just doesn't seem like it should be so hard.

    Thanks

    Side protection Defender

    Hello Mac,

    I have some "Scorpion Racing" rock sliders much like LRHybreds photo. They are fantastic, and have protected the sills on my Cape York trip, without loosing any ground clearance. Around the $720 mark, but well worth it. Plan to tap into the bars, and turn them into small air tanks from my compressor, to pump up my tyres.
    Look up Scorpion Racing web site. There are dealers in Australia.

    Cheers,

    Ken
