If you mean the rock sliders then this photo shows them on my car. Very easy to fit and there are a number of vendors selling similar. Mine are from GNV in the UK, but Green Oval Experience (gghaggis on this forum) also make a similar product and there is another person on the forum who also has them. Do a search or someone will be along with the details I'm sure. I think Discoweb has a set.
All of these products just bolt on to exisitng bolt holes on the vehicle. Very simple to fit and I reckon they probably paid for themselves a couple of weekends ago at Ourimbah State Forest.

Yep Mike, awesome looking rig!
I am looking into the sliders. I am getting too close to my sills for my liking.

Thanks rb30gtr, but when I look at Redback's machine I go green. He has all the mods on my wishlist (plus extra) already

Good onya for getting a D3,

I'd add the following as essential:

A front alloy protection plate, a few different ones available incl GOE.
This give much needed protection for the intercooler which is down low at the front.

A GOE Air Compressor protection plate.
The compressor is in a vulnerable position just in front of the P/S rear wheel.
Products

Either:
LLAMS or GOE Rods.

Don't underestimate the advantages of being able to modify the height sensor signals either mechanically (eg GOE rods) or electronically (eg LLAMS) to get the vehicle to off-road height when the system thinks the vehicle is at normal height, as the benefit is not just the ability to drive faster than 50 kph at off-road height. When the compressor looses the ability to pump at high enough pressure to refill the reservoir quickly enough, the suspension system will only allow what it believes to be normal height but which can be made to be off-road height by modifying the sensor signals. Being able to get to off-road height could get a vehicle out of a predicament where normal height might cause unwanted damage.

You can fit the safari snorkel on the Petrol LR3, it does require a bit of cutting inside the engine compartment to fit the hose through, and the adapter to the air box. In hindsight, I am not so sure it is a worthwhile effort due to the fact of weaknesses, ie: chances of water ingress into the cabin air inlet.

I got 19" alloys and its got enough gaps for the mud get in touch with the brake pads. People suggest me to get additional stell rims to fit in when doing off road. I dont wanna be swapping rims. Any mods to protect the brakes from mud?? Redback's alloys seems to be in a same situation. How has he handled that?
