For fitting why not ask Spence (AKA Guardian on here) as he makes em :D

I havent seen the quality of em, but i have not known any fault with his stuff so i would recommend em :D

I've got them with tree bars. The quality of the welding and finish is great and they fit well. Came with all bolts, plus Spence was very helpful on the phone. Price is good too...Recommended.

Only thing about them that makes me cautious is that IIRC they bolt through the sills and not to the chassis.  If you are happy with that style of mounting then I think the above comments answer your questions.

range rover blues, our rocksliders bolt to the chassis AND the sills, told you the last time!
if rocksliders only bolt to the sills they are a total waste of time, dont care what any eggspurt says, disco sills are crap when new for strength let alone when they are rotten, as 99% are.

I got a set they bolted to the outriggers .Fit them before you dent the outrigger as they wont look straight otherwise .Ask me how I know :lol: It was awkward trying to hold them up on my own whilst I had the drill out.

I Have the rock sliders with tree guards on mine, they are very nice, one was pain to fit the other went straight on, upon removing the plastic sill covers i discovered that I had to weld on new sills, but would of had to do that anyway, I used the pattern part for the RRC cut to fit as they were half the price of the disco bit, the rock sliders are well made and not at all difficult to fit ( well no more that anything on Land Rover) :D
