Default Defender 110 RockSliders

TuffAnt RockSliders installed. Look great, seriously strong, and super practical. Added bonus, my mother, who is vertically challenged, can now get in the car.

Have a few more mods to do, but am pretty happy with the progress.

Those look great and are on my list for early 2023 order and installation

Did you install'm yourself, if so any major issues to watch out for? I'm still doing some digging as to what my final product selection will be.

We installed them ourselves.. and by “we”, I mean my son installed them and I handed the appropriate tool as needed 😅

Pretty easy - around 4 hours total and instructions are very clear. No issues that we encountered.

These look fantastic and lighter than other options.

Do you have any photos from underneath the vehicle? I'm curious to see how far under they extend.

I took a few when installing my tuffant sliders. They are about 300mm wide and go just past the mounting rail. The photos will show what is exposed if you dont cut and refit the felt liners. It's a similar story for all sliders currently on the market.

Fuel tanks sit lower than sliders

Waiting on a decent lightweight aluminium transmission armour plate offering to cover this exposed area.

Another photo of exposed section on left side. Fitting a stainless water tank did cross my mind.

Right side facing rear.

Tuffant slider - top view, other side symmetrical.

Installation instructions are supplied on purchase. Again these are for Tuffant specifically. They are very clear.

Removing the plastic plugs on the sill can be tricky without breaking them. Attached photo should help with levering technique.

Use edge (orange) to gently lever plug with large flat blade screwdriver.

Tighten the slider bolts to 40Nm. This is missing from the instructions.

PDF instructions attached. Tom might have updated these by now with some customer feedback. 😉
