I’d fit some non bar type ones every time, there’s not a chance in hell I’d want to take the risk of someone driving into the side of a Defender without them.
These are mine, i like them, they don’t stick out much and have jacking points. I could easily have them painted body colour if needed.  Click image to enlarge |

Tree sliders every day.
You say that you value your doors in car parks then is a no brainier. Spaces have stayed the same size, cars have got bigger and the general public doesn’t seem to give a toss about other peoples property. One space I ended up in once I had to get out standing on the slider, close the door, walk along the slider, foot on the tyre then a twist and double pike and I was out. The car next to me would never have got their door open. Good looking 90 by the way  |

I had some knob wait for me to complain they had damaged their door on my Rock slider.
lovely dent along the edge of their door. They didn't get it when I pointed out it was their fault and would have damage my door if it wasn't there. I like the look of the ORE ones that double up as a step. Good looking 90. |

Thanks chaps - you've convinced me to go with the rock sliders without the tree bars.
And thank you for the compliments on my 90. I will post the finished result once fitted |

Side steps also protect the doors.

Do you happen to know if these are not shown on ORE 4x4's website? I am looking at: https://ore4x4.co.uk/product-category/land...cessories/ and not seeing them there or elsewhere on their website, but I need a set myself and would be interested to see their design. 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

Sorry my bad, I was looking at the ORE roof tent.
Look at Uproar, they do sliders and steps, |

Ah right thanks, that explains that.
Not too keen on their design: https://uproar4x4.com/collections/rock-sli...sliders-90 Think I'll go with the more traditional Safari Equip version: https://www.safari-equip.co.uk/shop/land-r...ender-110/ 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

Same as on a couple of 90's I've had in the past. 30x50mm (or is it 30 x 60?) box IIRC, sticks out from the edge of the door by about 10~15mm. When painted the same colour as the vehicle is very discreet. Last edited by diesel_jim on 2nd Nov 2022 5:52pm. Edited 1 time in total |

This is one of the reasons I fitted tubular side steps, to protect the doors from inconsiderate idiots, of which there are many unfortunately! 2004 Defender 90 Td5 CSW

I had these Bearmach ones on my 90 for years and they were great (provided protection but were discrete) however when I replaced my chassis they wouldn't fit (no adjustment) so I went for the Terrafirma ones instead.
Would have gone for straight ones again but wanted to protect my new galv doors.
