Finders Fee? A beer or vino or two on me when we catch up oldsalt. Ordered mine. The price was 560 plus delivery. Brad (07 32795550) offered narrow or wide for side step. I went narrow like yours.

Thankyou

Thankyou

You show me yours and I'll show you mine ... ho ho ho ...

When I have some cashola I'll be getting a set!

Hi all,
Fitted the rock sliders today...........thanks Brad from QLD.
Thanks also to Oldsalt. The jack idea to lift them into place worked well.
A couple of pointers for those fitting them themselves: -

1. Remove thewhite plastic nipples from the vertical face of the sills prior to installing the sliders. I put some felt tape towards the top to stop the metal to metal contact.
2. Remove front quarter panel bottom trim prior to fitting sliders, and cut in later.
3. You cannot re-fit front mudflaps if you do have them. I tried cutting them neatly around the sliders and they looked mega fugly.

Here are some photos




Cheers, Craig

Good stuff Craig,
Are they the wide set?
How easy is it to remove that front trim, I've done the sill one before it was easy enough.

Hi Rich, they are the wide set. I did consider the narrow set as they probably look a bit neater, but I wanted the extra side protection.
The wife thinks that they look like a bunk bed ladder on the side............when was the last time we listened to them
I think they look great and it is my vehicle. BTW: She is still getting over the bullbar.
When removing the front trim, you need to pull the wheel arch guard out a bit, then the front sill panel will pop straight out. I must admit, I thought I was going to break something with the amount of pull I had on it (bit like a 14 year old boy)
Good luck with the fitting and PM me if you get stuck.
Cheers, Craig

Craig,

A couple of questions as Brad has just advised mine are being sent down tomorrow:

1. what size bolts did you use to attach and did they come with the side steps;

2. How much needs to be trimmed from the front quarter bottom panel, and what did you use to trim this ?

3. How long did it take to fit the steps ?

Sorry for the questions but want to fit them Saturday and will try and have everything ready to go so I do not spend half the day back and forth to hardware store.

George.
