Welcome...side steps and wellies...funny that, the day I had a test ride in the Grenadier here in OZ the ground was wet and the prototype side step had a plastic type insert that was supposed to be the grip for the step...failure.
It was pouring when I had the test drive in Perth
With you all the way...I think I will stick with the steps and modify but interested in the rock sliders with a checker plate step welded in place, back and front which would solve the foot sliding between as you mentioned.
Yes that gap is my concern, I had a step in my last Defender and it was no more than 20mm from the chassis. Looks like a trap for little legs, dog legs.
Do you mean - remove the rubber (not sure why shoes/boots wouldn't grip on rubber) and in its place weld checker plate wider than the bar to reduce the gap to the body?
Do you have a delivery date?
My order from June '22 has a delivery of Feb '23 and for the order from two weeks ago delivery should be May-June '23.
Yes.
The build date hasn't been updated in my account yet but dealer said March build for April delivery. I could actually do with it falling into 23/24 accounts so no rush.
Nailed it. I want the sliders, but either fading out a little at the top so you can get a decent foothold, or with a footpad added to the top below each door. Alternatively angle the side step up a bit so it doesn’t get trashed the first time it goes offroad.
I didn't use the step to get into the front seat but had to use them to get into the back seat
Hmmmm
I mentioned this somewhere else on the forum
Where’d you get the little tonka truck Dave?
