Hi all,

just wandering if anyone would know if i can fit side steps onto my 90 if i have rock/tree sliders fitted? Been looking at getting a set of these

i've attached a photo of the sliders fitted to my 90. any advice will be much apreciated!

but them fire & ice ones are the same as what you have now. but with a fancy bit of stainless steel bolted on top.

That's what I thought, why bother spending £200+

And they "clamp to the chassis with a single bolt" Can't see them staying on very long.

Lol what's wrong with the rock sliders been used as a step?
I'll buy the rock sliders if your replacing them though : p

not going to be doing much off roading and with the 2 inch lift means its pretty hard to get in/out of! the side steps will drop down a couple of inches lower then the sliders i think?? or should i just go with some of these

Side step rail type won't be much lower then the sliders

I have these in the above link on mine, makes it so much easier getting in a lifted landy, they would need adapting to fit with the rock sliders on though,
If you were to remove rock sliders I believe you would then have to replace the metal panel which was removed to accomadate the sliders, I maybe wrong though

perfect, think i'll go ahead and get the fold down steps instead then, may aswell keep the rock sliders just incase! cheers for the help
