Rock sliders
« on: April 04, 2006, 21:48:05 »
I am trying to find rock sliders for my Disco but I can only find 1 place on the net and they are for £200.

I am after the rounded rock /tree slider bits to the edge as I think the squared off ones are ugly.

the ones I want look like these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Discovery-Tree-Rock-Sliders-Unsprayed_W0QQitemZ4628144553QQcategoryZ31348QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I would also like to have them at myhouse by Saturday if poss so I can fit them by Sunday. Haha heard that 1 before!!!

I would like to spend about £150 in total but I doubt that wil happen.

The same ones as I had the link to?

What do they need doing to them? Is it just a coat of hammerite over them?

Looking at  http://www.mill-services.com/html/sillbar_catalogue.html they are the same for a Disco and RRc. So make me an offer. Mine are the bottom ones.

I now have the sliders :D

All I have to do is try and remove the side steps and fit them now. No idea how to fit them or get the rusted on side steps off but here goes nothing!!!

*Off I walk out the door to work on it now!*

If you hit them that hard you're driving in the wrong place!!! :shock:

Then, once you've replaced you're teeth, just think what would've happened if they weren't there ...
