gruntus Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi All, I fitted rock sliders years ago on my 90 and the Mrs being vertically challenged has badgered me for ages about getting a side step to help her get up in to her booster seat. 🙂 Has anyone else retrofitted a side step to a rock slider before? ATB G 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I have folding Defender side steps in addition to rock sliders on my 109.  They work very well together, but my sliders are made to protrude about 1” from the side of the vehicle, which allows the steps to bolt as normal to the original sill channel.  I don’t know if flush rock sliders get in the way of the step legs.

paime Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I had the same setup as snagger on my 90 and it worked well. What kind of rock sliders do you currently have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Ahh, that's interesting. Thanks Snagger. My sliders sit tight to the sill channels like in the picture below. Do your steps still fold up ok with out interfering? I do have an old butchered folding step that I obtained yonks ago and also a rear folding step I don't have fitted anymore which I can have a play with. Will get me thinking cap on....🤔 Cheers G 🙂 Edited February 16, 2021 by gruntus picture added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Sorry Paime, just saw your reply. Any of you gents have a picture? Cheers G 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It's a bit dark but you can just about make it out here. I've got some 2nd hand side steps here in Aberdeen which i'd happily get rid of, just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW thats a very clean and tidy motor! 👍 Thanks again G 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
