Title: Discovery 2 TD5 Rock sliders
Post by: brianb on May 05, 2010, 21:08:16: I fancy a set of rock sliders to replace my flimsy side steps and was looking at these on ebay

Guardian landrover discovery 2 rocksliders rock slider on eBay (end time 30-May-10 14:43:33 BST)

Anyone got them and what do you all think of them? Been looking around for some for a while but they are thin on the ground for Disco 2's

Post by: turbonutter on May 06, 2010, 10:33:40: well im f***ing useless with computers !

im up for it

as the d2 is my every day work bus and dosent go off road iv not chassis mounted them , they are only welded to the sills unlike the set i built for the rrc offroader that are chassis mounted

i will redesign and make them chassis mounted

would it be better for them to bolt to the chassis ?

mine are not powder coated just painted , what would people rather ? can find out about powder coating or can come sprayed / unpainted ?

think if i built 10 sets i could sell them pretty easy

They attatch to the chassis and sills though it looks like i have to drill some holes in the outriggers to do it. Not had a chance to have a propper look yet hopefully get that done tommorow.
