Side Protection Bars for new Defender

[mac]

I'd like to have the large diameter single side protection bars for my new 110. It appears that only the new dual small diameter side protection runners are available from Land Rover now. I've called three Land Rover dealers and each of the parts employees have been in their jobs for less than 6 months and don't have any history on the large diameter bars. I assume that the original large diameter will fit. Any recommendations on where I can get the old style bars and if they will fit the 2008 Defender?

Thanks

Are you asking about side steps? LR don't sell rock sliders so I'll assume you are. The older style side steps have thick black tubing and checker plate along their upper surface. These will fit the new Defender and your dealer should be able to order them for you - my dealer in Qld could get them - I didn't want them though.

Scallops,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm looking for the ones you described. Which dealer do you use?

Heya Mac - you can just click the little "thanks" button!

Mac, where are you?

Do you mean like the thumbnail? This is the one fitted to Xtremes.

They are a good step, but don't offer much protection. In fact they hang low & get clobbered sometimes.

Max,

Yes, just like the thumbnail picture. I like the way it looks, but if it hangs to low, I may have to change my plans.

Thanks
