    I’ve had steps and they get pretty cruddy fast, I’ve also smashed a few up when off roading, I’d go side runner, the look is better in my opinion. Great video as always👍🏻

    Side runner steps would be my choice

    I've got a 90 with the foldables wich I prefer above the permanent ones.

    Side runners look better but if you're planning any serious off roading the fold up steps are the way to go

    SVX type, also acts as protection to the sills

    Oh that’s a tough one… love the folding steps…. Love the runner step too. Hmmmm runner gets the vote from “Her Indoors”. So that’s me told ! 😂

    I have the folding steps and love the look, However, I also have a wife, and she finds it hard getting in and out (of the Landy😮), so a runner would probably be better. Make your choice on who is getting in and out....hope that helps

    I like the look of the folding steps myself, they seem to suit the rest of the Defenders upgrades. Oh, and more air guitar and head banging please! Great video as ever.

    The reason the bolt and nut are different sizes incase anyone's wondering, is in the event people only have 1 of each socket or spanner size. Anyway, I'm having the same debate for my 130 I like that the steps fold in and that maybe useful for width resolution but the bars double as side protection and I think using them for entry will be easier as the foot placement isn't just tied to being so far forward like it is on the steps, I'd go with bars, but think some electrically folding ones

    I replaced mine with the bars look great and give the side view a bit of a chunkier look.
    Wish i had thought to take the sills off, had some bloody knuckles by the time i was done

    Is there a way to incorporate the single steps with a proper rock slider?

    • @LRLiveUK
      @LRLiveUK  11 місяців тому +2

      You could fit rock slider sills that replace the existing sills but they stick out further and the steps may not fold completely upright. Also the steps would still get caught before the rock slider. Tricky.

    Well…
    Aesthetics asides … I think they BOTH look nice …
    I would choose the side bar on a 110 AND the folding step on a 90 … ❗️
    However … I do think that the stepping bar is a better choice either way…
    Not only does it serve as a better way to get in, it’s also a support for the under chassis’s as well as a good way to reach the top, if you have something on the roof 👍
    Greetings from Germany everybody 👋
    PS. yes i am the German who bought a english car AFTER Brexit… (that’s how much I love these) and let me tell you, it’s a pain in the butt to get spare parts. Takes forever to get them and the extra cost through taxes, are a serious point… unfortunately… 😢

    I’d go for the not foldable side step

    Folding steps every time for me, if you must have any at all. It’s not that high, that’s why you have knees so you can bend your legs 🦵The full length side steps make it look like a boy racer’s street car 🏎️ 😝
