Title: Girly steps. Leave on or take off?
Post by: muddyjames on February 05, 2006, 18:30:43: I have some side steps on my disco that are quiet rusty and they are mounted to the chasssis and wondered if they would protect my sills or just get bent and stop me the whole time. I dont care if they get bent but I dont want them bending into anythin vital. So should I leave them on or take them off?

If you do bend them up they will look ugly and you'll possibly make them harder to remove.
:D

Post by: suzota on February 05, 2006, 18:33:06: depends on how strong they are.

I would take them off and fit rock sliders.

Saying that i have just put steps on mine, but mine are mega strong.

I would LOVE to have some rock sliders but cant afford to eat at the mo let alone buy toys. I have bought a CB radio with my tip money from xmas which tip money ONLY gets spent on toys.

I nearly had a set, but went for the ones with jacking points instead.

Post by: muddyjames on February 06, 2006, 19:36:34: The disco came with the manky rusty steps but I was just wondering if they would protect my sils or not and sounds like they wont!

Is there a web site for those disco parts and possible prices to see how many pennies i need to save? A rock sliding side step would be good as my mum does struggle to get in the disco before i buy a 1" lift kit!

Post by: Bush Tucker Man on February 06, 2006, 21:35:02: I've been told by SWMBO that mine have got to stop on :cry:

They're the bit of the vehicle I don't like, still they'll eventually get bent :wink:

Give Mark a call, he'll happily talk to you in detail about your options. Decent rocksliders aren't exactly a giveaway, but you'll thank your lucky stars when they start to do their job.

True, but it's what they take with them that's the worry :?
