I'm already really enjoying being back on 18" ATR's, noticeably more comfy.
I'd quite like rock sliders, but not tree sliders as I'm not keen on any type of side step/protusion. Someone once made sliders that you could slot tree sliders into, it might have been Prospeed. They would have been ideal.
I would also like to remove the silver extended roof rails and replace with the standard length black ones.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Might be able to help you out with that if the rails from a MY11 fit yours?
I took my OEM ones off so I could fit my Front Runner rack.

Dave
Standard LR size for 18"s 255-60-18
I drive c.25k miles pa on road, but go off road every week, so the perfect combination of tyre and size for me. The ATR being almost as brilliant on road as the Zero, but much better off road. Plus they last forever, well c.50k miles 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Yes, I'd forgotten about that business.
I see his website is still up to date.
