The genuine LR one has the rubber bubble cover on the top. It's not cheap but the quality is good (except the paint which is rubbish!)

I had heard that the genuine ones suffer from rust? They are also on a 3month back order at LR because of this?
There seem to be a lot out with the rubber/plastic but I just don't know which one to buy or where I can even get a genuine one for reasonable money! |

Two quick questions
1 How old is your vehicle 2 Do you plan to tow If 2008 + and YES are the answer then you cant legally use a NAS Step. LR will provide it in writing saying it is not Type Approved, Unless its a Comercial vehicle then thats different, I recon you could get the rubber off ebay if you looked around so could buy one and swap it out. |

It's a 60 2010 and no I don't tow anything with it, In fact I removed the Dixon bate from it as it wasn't required.
I'll keep looking, they seem a bit of a grey area though, I'd buy a genuine LR one if I could find one and it wasn't going to rust out after 12months  |

I had a Non genuine one fitted to the Mrs's 90 in 2013, it was supplied by a local independent. It looked identical to the genuine version. Rust formed at the edges of the thin metal sheet supporting the tread. I kept it bay by spraying with acf50 and the step looked fine when it was sold at two and a half year old. Also, I forgot to underseal the support arms so they went brown pretty quick and I just sprayed on spray grease.
I've just fitted one to her new 90, bought from paddocks for about £320, there was no significant delay on delivery. I got this one powder coated along with side runners and treated the interior with dinitrol. I reckon the powder coat cost £60, but it was part of a job lot so not sure of exact cost. Both had a "style auto" sticker. If doing this again, I'd go for the Masai version, it is supposed to be zinc plated and powder coated for £360, the only thing is it comes with aluminium tread plate. Not sure if it can be substituted with plastic bobbly type. I fitted the towing electrics to the cross member hole, otherwise you'll need a bracket to attach to the step.
