What rock sliders are these?

Hi all

Found these pictures while browsing for side step alternatives. Simply said they were rock sliders, but didn't mention a brand.

Can anyone tell from the photos?







I like them over others I've seen as they don't stick out much, so not as in your face as the Prospeed sliders and much better looking than the factory side steps

Any help would be great

Yes agree with Del they look like LR side tubes.
They do provide some protection but not to the level of rock and tree sliders as they are not structural and bolt to brackets that then bolt to the sill.
My D3 came with them on but they didn’t survive very well off road.






I changed them for Shire Fabrication rock and tree slider which I’ve found to be very good.




 D4 2016 Landmark, Waitomo Grey.
D3 2005 HSE, Bonatti Grey, now sold but still comes back for servicing.
Defender 2002 Td5 Commercial, had a hard life but slowly being restored.

Shire fabrications sliders are good but the paintwork is shockingly bad! I would recommend sorting out the paintwork before fitting them because they won’t last long before the paint falls off and they start rusting!

Thanks for the replies lads Thumbs Up

I'm not planning on using the D4 offroad much (got a Defender 90 for the really rough stuff) but the Mrs wants side steps. I hate how they look so thought rock sliders would be a functional compromise of the two. Trying to find a set that don't stick out loads if proving quite tricky.... which is why I liked the look of these

Can you lads with side tubes possibly post a picture of them with the door open?

The tubes do not function as a step, if that's what you're wondering about. They are just bling IMHO..

Got them on mine, but I am about to replace them with sidesteps/sliders.

There are these, not LR OE but a compromise between steps and side tubes.

Slightly better view.

I think its a difficult one as the oe style sidesteps just look terrible, every single style of rockslider looks like some back scaffold tube bolted on that jutts out to far, even the very expensive ones appear cheap looking.

If its for access I wonder if the access mode can be made to go lower?

access mode sits on the bump stops, so that's not an option Sad

I'll just need to tell her to get her leg up higher Laughing
