    I have terrafirma sliders on my D3. They are subtle and neat and work well. Only issue was that if you have rear air you need to cut the i side lip of them down in the passenger side to allow room for the pipe work.
    Thanks Andrew - I ended up reversing the mounts after that trip (was the first with it) - and now much better.
    No rear air (ATM) just finished installing the ARB compressor in the aux battery compartment and happy with it being used from there

    please can you can post a pic off how they fix

    My apologies for the slow reply, I no longer have the D3 and didn't take any pics from when I fitted them but its pretty basic, you take off the plastic sill cover and there are various securing threaded bolt holes that run under D3/D4's that most rock sliders bolt straight up to. I'm not sure if Brad sells his sliders anymore, shame if he doesn't as they were very good and stopped alot of damage that would have happened otherwise.
    Cheers,
    Terry

    From memory what I saw when I fitted mine it was a case of taking the sill covers off so the bolt holes became obvious and accessible. Plus the sill covers just provide another place for mud to get stuck in.

    Sill is retained in these holes, so rocksliders replace the plastic sills, unless you find a way to keep sills and drill through covers.

    Yes, the uk roads abd liberal use of 'salt' during winter kills cars very quickly.

    OK guys 2021 what rocksliders are people buying? Looking at the APT units, but was more looking for something with a full step not just the bar. For D4 2011.

    I've got pro speed from UK. But im pretty sure the guys at APT will accommodate your needs. I spoke with him once about a bash plate and bull bar, he's a legend

    APT will do with or without cover plates, but only top or bottom, not both. Spoke to Ben last week, ordered mine with Alu top chequer plate.

    Yes, the plastic sills have to be taken off, plus there may be a strip needed for the bottom edge of the door to seal against the slider, as it's skinnier than the plastic sill.
