Got a little crafty on the weekend and finally tackled a project i had long put off. I was able to reinforce the factory side step by cutting, trimming and adding a 3mm 40x40 SHS with 5mm flat plate steel bracing.
I wouldn't really consider them as a rock slider but more of a side step bash bar to protect the stills from way ward logs & ruts etc whilst maintaining the factory look. I may look to add a slider bar to the bottom of the mounts should i need.
I picked up a second set of factory side steps just encase it didn't turnout well but overall I'm pretty happy with the result. So if anyone want to do something similar and needs another pair i have my originals.
Just posting to give others inspiration if there looking for something similar.
