Get them fitted !! I would say if you didn't have to take off genuine side steps and the two screws in the rear wheel arch play ball you could do the whole job in 2 hours, with a brew stop and some admiring!! I had to cut new heads in the screws in the wheel arch and drill out old mounting bolts!! Took about 4 hours!!! But very happy with the results. It may also be worth getting 10 X 30mm stainless penny washers to go along the top of the sill as the mounting holes are slightly oval to allow ease of fitting and the washers that come with the sliders don't fully cover the whole up Ill be there in a minute!!!

Yeh, that's why they aren't on. I had bother with said bolts, cut the old steps off and left partial brackets on lol, need to get my finger out and get them done.
You can see what's left of my brackets here

There is an inner and out seal. The inner one is the key one, the outer one just stops most of the muck. Have a look in the door frame after being off road and you'll see what I mean. There's loads of collected in there.Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders
