Send forum member Simon a PM, I know for a fact he has a set complete with cutout plastic sills and is looking to get shot of them. I'm seeing him today so will prep him
Ah, just spotted your post count, so you can't yet PM. I'll do it for you and get him to contact you.

Side steps are not the only option, some go for bars or tree-sliders. I never liked how steps could freeze your doors shut, how the trim degrades, how they rust from underneath or how easily they bend when off-road. On the plus side they are better for old-folk and (if left in off-road height) protect your doors from car park dings.
I moved to tree-sliders but have not installed the grip-tape:

Thanks. I had no idea there were so many options. The tree sliders look pretty neat. Are they a simple bolt on self install job like side steps?

They are a bit easier to fit than the side steps as you do not need to cut the plastic sills. Just unclip the sills and bolt into the holes provided by LR. They are quite heavy so a floor jack or an extra pair of hands can help. When you come to sell the uncut plastic sills can go back on.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

@bisondude - just PM'd you. Given you my email if you can't PM back. Let me know if you are interested. They're genuine LR ones with all the bolts, brackets and pre cut sills (save you a lot of faffing).
cheers

Just PM'd Robbie but thought i'd see if anyone else had any bright ideas
The running board seems to have bent very slightly when i was off roading at the weekend. The door trim is now rubbing on the running board when you open and close the passenger front door.
Any ideas how to bend back the running board?
If possible i'd like to keep the running board on the car but can take off if I absolutely need to.
