Danger, Will Smith! Danger!

I never knew that Land Rover Discovery steps were dangerous until I saw this advert ( Item number: 260106377395 )on eVilBay.

I removed this rear step from my discovery a few years ago because the hydrochloric strut was blown, and I did't use the step anyway.
Please note: There is some damage on the under side, and the hydrochloric strut does not work

Isn't that an anti-theft device?

Hmm, didn't think rear steps were that much of a commodity.

cheers

Err, no. "Hydrochloric" - he forgot the second "h".

why would you buy a rear step that doesnt work,,
even the infamous hydrochloric version?

Do these affect ground clearance much?

My wife would love one of these. To get into the fridge she has to climb up onto the bumper.

your fridge has a bumper?

**tracker** · 17th April 2007, 06:52 AM

Gee utemad,maybe you should be a gentleman and buy a step so the wife can get the fridge out .

It's an 80L fridge and when full it weighs more than she does. Although....... maybe if I bought two steps.........................

Maybe I could just fit air suspension from a Rangie and lower the whole car to her

yes and no,,
they do hang down below the bumper
but then, all the cars that have them also have
airbags that can raise the rear,,, if needed.
