Have you seen how short Horness' legs are?  :lol:  :lol: We need the extra bit to step on  :wink:

Looking good Horness

Yes, they do.  And those without the side bars have high lift points as well.

I chose mine for two reasons:
1) The extra bar gives the doors some protection from those people that just sling their doors open in car parks
2) I had to replace the sidesteps with something, otherwise my little girl couldn't get in very easily

thermidorthelobster:
I asked Discoparts to do me a set with both the bars and the jacking points.  At the time there were problems with aligning them during all the welding, which meant that after I bolted them on, I couldn't open the doors.   :x

Instead I went for a standard set with jacking points, but if Mark ever nails the problem, I'd say a set with the rails and the jacking points together would be rocksliding nirvana.

Horness:
Murph - they bolt straight through the sills with 8 bolts.  It's a poor photo (with my phone) but it encases the sill and the bolts go all the way though.

View from the other side


Gords - the bumper attaches using the 2 normal bolts, plus the 2 in the middle for the towbar.  I was a direct replacement for the old one, so no bending or banging was needed.

Discoparts do them without the tree sliders on, but I thought "what the hell" and went for the option.
A lot of the off-road I do is at night, with no lights on - and when I had the steps on I ripped the rubbers off so many times I thought the tree guards would offer some protection.

Lee -  :(biglaugh):

Hightower - Same thing here with the steps - kids and mother-in-law "friendly".

Horness. (now pricing up fuel tank guards!)
