Yes fitted similar (not from that seller) they are purely cosmetic in my view, dent quite easily and not much use as a step Rolling Eyes

Didn’t stay on long changed to rock/tree sliders Thumbs Up MY24 Defender 90 X-Dynamic HSE

I had the LR ones on my D3 when I bought it. If these fit the same you just have to cut the plastic sill covers - the holes in the metal are already there. Mine didn’t stay long either: getting stuck on rocks and a passenger spraining their ankle trying to use one as a step saw to that. But they do look good.

Apropos sliders, seems people like prospeed and shire or those get the most mentions.

I noticed in one of the D3/D4 groups that a new venture, https://www.blackseriesoffroad.com/, had pictures of yet another design. No idea on price and their site seems to only have a countdown.

No affiliation with any of these. Myself I’ve been thinking of Shire or Prospeed, too. Terrafirma ones supposedly have gotten worse over the years said a local off-road store.

I got mine from advanced factors half that price shown, but in black which imo is way better than chrome bling blong

With the tread plate on top at each door
Fitting is simple no drilling, no cutting of anything Thumbs Up

Look good but do they interfere with the front and rear mud flaps or fit nicely in between?

I have some pre-cut sill covers for sale if you wanted to retain your original uncut sill covers?

Cheers
