Yep, add me to that list too.
Never liked the idea of “bookshelves” being attached to the sides of a D3/D4...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Plus: they're great ones for starting out some heavy corrosion. Get rid of them for your own sake.
When I was looking for a D4 to buy I was offered one with side steps, which I rejected for just that reason.
They are the work of the devil

Side steps will be going very soon Gents, to be replaced by a set of Shire Fabrications rock sliders. Sadly I couldn't get the old ones off Larry (never use the bolts included!) but they were pretty battered anyway.
It's going to be a slow build but one I'll get a great deal of pleasure from.

Assuming you’ve got the pics uploaded to your gallery.
Open an image, then from below, copy either of the BB codes, then paste it when you raise/edit your post.
Thanks Ron, I'll give it a try and post in D4 mods 1978 Series 3 88 Military Green (Gone)

Nice to meet you Andy. Your D4 is stunning and the Mods so far ate cool. Sadly bringing my daughter to pick up the sill covers (we also hate side steps) has been expensive! I now have a list of the mods she wants for her D3! Stickers have already been ordered!
