Side Tubes = they do the job but get trashed easily (I know, i had some) and cost over £350 a set

Best to buy some of RLD's Aluminium sills = much better, offer more protection and cheaper !!


Same here re tubes, have a set of Uncle Ray's finest on order! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Had them but they didn't survive Salisbury. SWMBO wasn't impressed but now they are gone she has actually conceded it is easier to get into - I guess as you are closer to the car. The kids seatbelts are easier to do as well (not as far to lean over). I put a lump of foam under the seat belt buckles and this stops them dropping down and now very easy.

The steps folded up and wedged the doors... not to be recommended. Lucky not to damage the car really.

That's a great idea, a right pain on the Censored when swmbo is buckling up the youngest.

Ah that's part of the offroad package... it's called "find a big rock and land on it" - voila! no more side steps!
