Nice looking 90 mate!

Where abouts in Oxfordshire are you? I'm Didcot way and am slowly getting to know the lanes in the area and down towards Lambourn.

Will give you a wave if I see you around.

Hey. Farmer, thanks. I can already tick two of those option boxes and I'm about to tick the third as picking up Wurzzel's side steps tomorrow.

Ha, I look forward to it! Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!

those side steps will not look as good as a set of rocksliders and if you are going offroad you run the risk of damaging them.

i would advise you to sell me the side steps (since you beat me to it in the first place buying them). Whistle

seriously though, great looking truck.

Never really understood side steps. I'm only 5'4" and can get in no probs.

Whenever I've driven a Land Rover with side steps they just get in the way when you are getting out - they are never in just the right place for each user - you end up catching your foot on them nearly falling on your arse or bruising your shins.... !! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

and for off-road they get in the way.....

Rock or tree sliders get my vote...
Very Happy

Er yes. I think the rock sliders on the front cover of the March issue of LRO look cool, but I always use the step to climb in and always find it a bit too far forward. I've got side steps on my Disco 4 and use them everytime and I'm 6ft2 ish! Maybe its my technique?! Anyway, I thought Wurzels were the best looking ones I'd seen - if I change my mind...
By the way, how do you clamber into the back? I slide off the tow bar everytime so am getting a fold-up step there as well.

Maybe you should take it to 5Alive and get it lowered Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
On a serious note, a NAS rear step bumper will do the trick for rear entry Wink
