2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Fuji WhiteDiscovery 4

I've had a set of these on over a year now and think they are very good, extended mine out as to stop doors hitting my vehicle in the super market, I always put it in extended mode too just to make sure they hit the tube.. Rolling with laughter

Had a problem fitting the rear off side bracket until I decided that the easiest thing to do would be to weld it on, sorted now and gives it a bit more strength Thumbs Up

Again I did not refit my front mud flaps.

Looking good, so much nicer than those ugly great lumps of standard step.

Really suit the black look 8)

Thanks Yogi,
The side bars look good and easy to fit.
One tip for anyone else wanting to fit these, have at least 1 spare bolt the L shaped chassis ones to hand.
I snapped one Big Cry
But made another with stronger metal so all good now
I was thinking of getting defender mud flaps and making some sort of bracket for the front.
Has anyone done this?

A bonus is the box they come in
Great for crawling underneath, one per side as well Thumbs Up

Wish you'd told me to be careful with the tightening of those bolts.
Wonder why they don't supply locking nuts though?

Thanks for the heads up on these they look good and even SWMBO thinks they are good for stepping up

sorry for lack of warning of the L-shaped bolts, but I though I was the only fat fingeredhamfisted-give it another quater-turn just to be sure, plonk here! Laughing


yeah I noticed lack of nylock nuts, but have threadlock anyway, Thumbs Up
