Rock sliders/tree bars
« on: June 10, 2005, 17:43:30 »
I'm after some rock slider type bars for the 110, the ones that stick out  further than the sill, so you can use them as a step (SWMBO likes the truck, but really struggles to get in......most amusing watching... :twisted:

Any suggestions (other than getting a step-stool for the missus !!)

Ah, that's the place - 'twas mentioned on here the other day, but I couldn't remember the name.

Looks like they might be getting a call !

I assume that you can paint galvanized stuff quite easily - any special primer needed ?

I use Hammerite Special Metals primer on Galvanised and Aluminium.

Seems to work a treat. :D

I think I might get a pair of these too (I don't want to bend my side steps any more).

Hi there

I haven't purchased anything from Mill Services but from general scanning of a few forums they seem to get high recomendations.

Good luck with your chosen purchase  :wink:

And I too find pleasure in watching people struggle into my Defender  :twisted:   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:   :twisted:

I think I'm going to have a look at Billing and see who has the best prices and to see just what is available :)
