Urban were an early adopter and worth recognition for that fact alone.
@Jean Mercier Jean, thanks!
FYI, According to John Caney's latest Youtube video. He discovered a made in China stamp on the rock sliders and the paint is completely gone and steel is rusted on the ends where road debri hits. I will probably LineEx mine when I get it.
That is the one I will take!
Side steps not rock sliders, wasn’t it?
Paint can only do so much. It should ultimately be considered a consumable. That said, I’m glad I cancelled mine and opted for an alternative.
Hi globalgregors & Forum Members with the Grenadier Rock Sliders.
doesn't matter where they were manufactured... JohnC noted that he had accumulated some 5000km on outback dirt roads. Judging from the "spray pattern" on my side runners from a couple of hundred kms over clay roads dampened with light rain, JohnC's rock sliders have been sand blasted by gravel "spray" from the front and rear wheels. No amount of paint or powder coating will prevent this. However some polythene pipe section glued to the underside of the sliders will definitely offer good protection....
What brand did you go with, and where are they made?
Buzz Overland. Extremely happy with my choice which do a great job at being a proper rock slider but having a very useful and practical step surface under each door.
Apologies, overlooked this. We are on the standard BFG KO2 in 265/70 R17.
Hi Globalgregors, Many thanks for all the measurement photos. They are perfect for my purposes. Hoping to get a project
Sounds great! Should’ve mentioned that this was with maybe 60-70kg in the loadspace.
How many football fields is that?
any chance you can measure the length of them?? cheers
Still content with your Buzz sliders?
