Hi Mike
I'm sure that's Bowler, TMD have it on their website. Thinking is selling mine if it's of any interest? Life is one big adventure, that's why we have the vehicle for the journey. |

Although slightly different, Whitbread do something similar and before I got my 90 I was looking for something like a NAS step but that would still allow me to fit an adjustable drop plate.
I looked at the Bowler version and it is lovely but I think it was about £500 ish at the time and I could get a a NAS step for just over half of this at £265 which I thought was good value and still looked good. I looked at Malcolm's stuff as i've dealt with him in the past and he is a "top bloke" and I think he'd only just started doing his version but I wasn't sure as the tread on the top seemed too short. Anyway, i ended up with a NAS step because apart from the Bowler step, it looked good especially painted gloss black (all my black stuff is gloss) but not having the drop plate adjustment is a nuisance sometimes although I did consider this before buying and for the few times i've used my big Ifor it's been fine If the link works it should show Malcolms step which I see is now reduced to £75 which I think represents outstanding value, in fact I may buy one for a future "project" Good luck www.whitbread-offroad.co.uk/news_offers_view.php?id=70 Mark |

That's fantastic value, if I didn't already have the NAS fitted I would have those... may also get a pair for the future

Things like this also exist. Cheap as chips (£20), all the factory tow bar stuff stays, works well etc. etc. You can even get slightly prettier ones: |

I think they're fairly generic but that one is from Paddock Spares: http://www.paddockspares.com/pm138c-rear-t...plate.html I have the galvanised one and like it. It's simple, cheap and works. Gives a nice secure footing and both feet get somewhere to stand. If you reverse in to something solid it does bend but only if the thing you reverse in to is solid enough to have caused damage to a stronger bumper. It's easy enough to bend back in to shape too. Mine has the bonus of being adjustable height  |
