    Rock sliders

    Hi all
    Just want to share my project of building a set of rock slider/sill protectors.

    I aquired a set of range rover l322 side steps from a burnt out car, and use it a base frame to mount back to my car. See photos.

    I fitted a set genuine side steps to my L322 and I wouldn't think their mounting system of 6mm bolts would be suitable for what one calls real rock sliders! certainly not to take the weight of the car on a big rock!
    and the frames of the side steps are pretty light; I'm 115kg and I feel them flex a bit when I stand on them.

    Hi,
    You are right, however l had no intention of going over large rocks, it's mainly for the not extreme track just a general protection.

    for those of us with no skills (!) and ability to make our own.......RR44TDV8 and I met with Ben from APT Fabrications in Brisbane last week and had a good chat around what he can do for L322 owners. He has the same type of RS's available now as the D3 and D4 BUT he has a new design coming out early 2016 which he thinks will look better and are stronger; I have volunteered my car as test mule for two weeks early 2016 and once all sorted he will start marketing them. So, watch this space. Price? No idea - but D4's are currently around $920 as a rough guide.

    Hopefully he can come up with some stuff, a bull bar would be mint though. Was it clear to apt that l322's do not have a separate chassis in comparison to the d4 and rrs? This is the only issue with mounting a stronger slider

    Hmmm, to be honest I'm not sure - I assume he knows (he is a Landie guy after all!).

    Unfortunately (well better in my mind) even most landy guys assume they are all the same car with a different body on top...all are surprised to find out how little parts are shared
