Hi all
I have some questions about my Defender 90 tdi (being delivered on Thursday)...apologies if these are stupid questions, I'm a Defender Newbie and mechanical idiot:
1) My Defender appears to have had the Sills removed...why would the previous owner have done this? It has been restored with new doors fitted so is it likely that it is due to rust? Are there any other good reasons to not have sills?
2) Instead of fitting sills, I would like to fit Rock Sliders to provide added protection (I'm unlikely to go proper off-roading due to lack of skills, but will likely do some Greenlaning, although lacking skills for that currently as well!)...how easy are these to fit?
3) My good lady will be using the Defender on the road a lot and would like a side step that hangs down a little (the tubular sort with chequer plate as seen on any pimped Defender!) to help her get in (hence why I don't want rock-slider / step combo...are these easy to fit to Rock Sliders...and more importantly, easy to remove for when I take the Defender Greenlaning?
Cheers, Token
