Get the tree slider ones, gives much more protection. My 90 just has plain bars and the doors are covered in gouges from pushing up against banks/rocks/trees. I intend to extend mine when i can

got tree sliders on the 110, do not think they have been used for they where designed for yet - maybe once
Creak a bit if ever  jacking up off them, but the mounting method for them  on a 90 is somewhat better though.
Something to stand on when tying stuff to rack (easy to slip off though)
They get covered in crud and coat the backs of legs with that crud when getting out of truck :x
People instantly regret slamming open car doors into the them at tesco's  ;)

Same as mine.  Good product.  Fingers crossed I won't need it, but looks like the side impact protection might be a little better with them fitted too??

I wouldn't go along lines of saying side impact protection is improved, maybe it is to an extent for small bumps, but maybe a small impact could also push tree slider upward upward and prevent doors from being opened?
