A pair of sliders would probably be the simplest.

I think they are all going to involve removing the plastic sill covers, cutting holes and then assembling mourning brackets.
I bought a pair back in the autumn, but I'm not going to bother fitting them until the weather looks up a little 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

They are not snow friendly, particularly if you park out side my advice don't fit until April is out Tree sliders don't have this problem.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Re: Running boards
Are they still called that?
Always thought they were fitted to the old 1920/30s gangster cars so they could stand on them and fire off their Tommy guns.
Also, I hear some people still call the mirrors on their doors 'wing mirrors'.
And I bet very few people actually put gloves in their 'glove box'

If you don't want to pay LR prices, click here and take your pick:
Side steps will involve removing the plastic sill trim then measuring & cutting to allow brackets to pass through before you refit them, you'll probably need a handful of the little yellow retainers that are prone to breaking.
Your other alternative is a set of the Prospeed sliders with the step inserts, this will not only give you a step but some protection as well (especially for the sills).
06 Java Black HSE - gone
12 Baltic Blue HSE - gone
15 Fuji HSE Lux
Club Biscuits, mmmm nice!
Traxide/Luna hybrid & Yellow top
Some Prospeed bits
+ some other stuff

I found with the use of a trim clip removal tool that I was able to keep all the clips in tact, but it would be prudent to have a few to hand.
