dont no yet, waiting for mine to turn up, dont look to bad though from the pics, like the fact they dont actually mount to the cill, putting stress on a weakish part in my opinion (will see once they are fitted )

Personally i'd be inclined to buy mill services ones at £25 more, they are galvanised.

Hard to say without seeing them, but the fixing brackets look tiny on them !

Problem with all of them is that there is no "good" way to fit them on a Disco.  Even the good chassis-mounting types will bend upwards if you smack them hard... there is just too much leverage involved.   And once that happens, you arguably risk as much damage as not having them.

I tend to prefer the type which clamps around the sill... since that strengthens the bodywork...     the ideal type fixes on both bodywork and chassis, but then you get into problems of vibration / body movement.

It's never simple !

Devon 4x4 must do them?

Can you sort a good deal tim.  :D

As long as they fit   :wink:  :lol:
