Lewis Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 My mates 90 has the Safari Equip ones fitted, they have had some right abuse and the powercoat has stood up well. He's owned the car 6years, and before that it was owned by White90 (a former moderator on lr4x4) who regularly competed in winch challenges so they really have lasted well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm leaning towards the paddocks galv. sliders at the moment. They look well made and aren't expensive. I'm thinking either powdercoat or spray in body colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Not sure that I trust paddocks to be more than about 1.5mm thick though! Seen plenty of cheap sliders go into an event pristine and come out the other side as bent as anything. I definitely want something galv'd, but want a powdercoated/painted finish as I don't really like the galv look on bodywork. Safari Equip are hot dip galv'd then PC, whereas most others are zinc plated then PC which doesn't cut it for me. Bearing in mind that at £202 for paddocks galv, it's only £38 more for SE which get very good reviews (eg Lewis above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I've got paddock ones, if I was buying again I'd buy safari equip or make them myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 No prices at the moment ? http://www.safari-equip.co.uk/shop/index.php/defender/rock-sliders/rock-sliders-with-jacking-points-90.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You mean these ones http://www.safari-equip.co.uk/shop/index.php/defender/rock-sliders/rock-sliders-with-nerf-bars-90.html There's never prices Worth noting the paddocks ones are a rip off of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris113 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You can buy Safari Equip products from 4x4 Overlander - http://www.4x4overlander.com/product-category/protection/ At the other end of the budget I fitted a set of rocksliders from these guys http://www.rock-sliders.co.uk/ They were under £100 inc shipping and I've not managed to bend them yet. The powdercoating hasn't stood up well but otherwise I have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Giggle pin seem to do them and the price is much better than I thought: http://gigglepin4x4.net/safari-equip-defender-90-rock-sliders-369-p.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's petty, but I strongly object to the 110 and 130 parts being the same price as the 90 ones, there is more materials, more bracketry, and more finish on the larger ones so how can they justify charging the same rate?

Anderzander Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I don't think it's petty. I can't find the plain type on the over lander site - so I've sent them a mail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
