So, to recap:

Something that hugs the Sill is a Sill Protector' or 'Rock Slider'

Something that hugs the Sill BUT FITTED WITH A BAR OF SOME KIND is a 'Tree Slider'

Correct????????????? My Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/NeilDisco#p/u/5/Dz4-Q95GQ2c

Some tree sliders don't incorporate rock sliders and vice versa ...the one on NWoods disco3 is a combined unit ...the one shown above on the 90 is a tree slider only ..i.e not designed for great upward forces 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Cant see any reference to this on a D3?. Doesnt this just confuse the issue? Shocked

If the Sill Protector has a 'bar' then its a 'Tree Slider', if it doesnt the 'Sill Protector' is a 'Rock Slider' My Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/NeilDisco#p/u/5/Dz4-Q95GQ2c

Yes, but it is possible to get a bar without a sill protector (at least not a beefy one that does any good)...so you can get JUST a tree-slider (the bar) and JUST a rock slider (the sill protector) or a combination thereof.


Oh go on, Simon!
