Tools that are required to fix on the rock sliders may be 1 drill with tapered reamer on 1 ratchet with alan key and a thingummy jig to get the plastic rivets out from the other sills

Ray, thank you very much for yesterday afternoon, I’m sorry we lost so much time taking the side tubes off, I couldn’t believe they had three different styles of bolts and a mix of clockwise and anti clockwise; also for all the extra time I took wax oiling the sills, totally unnecessary but what will do more will do less. At least your powder coated ally rock sliders went on quick and look the absolute dogs, although one of the subtlest mods you can do to your D3 they look a lot more substantial in the flesh than they do in the pics. For the price of protecting my sills and having the ability to jack on them, I have to consider the rock sliders along with my Mantec plate to be two of the smartest mods I’ve done to the car in an ever growing list. Ray you Sir are a gentleman and a scholar, once again, thank you.

Ray, do your sliders go under the body of the D3 abit like the Off Roving ones.
And do you think that you could look at a weekend bolt on rock slider thingy that could bolt on the side step brackets 
What you have produced are stunning ray, and i may be very tempted but do fancy the idea of the weekend bolt on rock slider thingy (just helps the kids out to have the steps)

And well worth it!  Got mine delivered & fitted at the weekend - hard to tell they're different until you look closely.
Great fit and finish
Nice one Ray!

Looks great Ray \ TFC
In simplistic terms how tuff are they ? Would they survive a drop onto rocks ? Would any deformation impact on any part of the vehicle body? Just interested to know

If any of the guys in Australia are interested in this I would be keen to help sort something. I can generally get reasonable pricing on shipping as we do a bit of freight.........
Awesome job Ray!
