Side steps for 2007 Puma 90
https://www.sidesteps.co.uk/shop/side-step...ide-steps/

I am looking for some side steps/rock slider style - does anyone have any experience of these
OR is there anything better.

I don't want them to go rusty & scabby after 5 mins but I do want them as a step
TIA

Guy May your life be like toilet paper ; long & useful.

Hi Guy, have no experience of those steps, however zinc plate normally means electro plating which puts down about 1/10 the thickness of zinc that hot dip galv puts down. Hot dip is much better corrosion protection

If you want to avoid rust then look at the stainless ones from Nakatanenga Here

Thanks for the replies.
The Naka ones at 400 quid are probably pretty good but They aren't cheap-does anyone know what grade of stainless they are made from? May your life be like toilet paper ; long & useful.

Gear from Nakatanenga is not as cheap as other makes, but is top quality at a relative reasonable price.

Nakatanenga has got a good reputation for quality. We have used their equipment on our own vehicles so can vouch for their equipment from personal use.

Grade of stainless? The Germans use a different code system to the UK, have been told the grade before but can not remember it. We have the stainless wheel carriers fitted and no issues. Have supplied several to the Falkland Islands and that is a pretty bleak, wind swept place. Just got another enquiry from the Falklands today.
