Default Powerful UK Utility Side Rails?

I really like watching the Powerful UK videos and came across one for their Utility Side Rails. These look really interesting. Have any of you fit these to your D110? If yes what do you think of them? Do you have any pictures you could share?

Thank you

Hmmmm… I had a set of those on my Wranger and they were super useful, no doubt. But that was on a diamond-plate cargo deck I installed in back. I can’t imagine how you would hang something off of the location on the Defender where these go without totally banjaxing your paint along the side.

They are L track which all the van lifers use inside their sprinter van. The same track is an option on the Grenadier running across the whole belt line. The only issue I see is at this moment there is nothing made to use the L track outside your truck besides hanging a garbage bag. I mention the same thing to Simon, great idea but at this moment there as no accessories to use it.

Every time I build a new Grenadier configuration I leave those tie-downs off. I'm a minimalist (ultralight backpacker, for instance, with a 8.5# base weight before food and liquid) and figure after years in a 2-door Wrangler I ought to be able to get everything I need in the back of a 30' long Defender or Grenadier.

Dang! Wish I had that option last year. I put on the side Molle plates and decided to pick up a set of extra trim. I cut the holes in the trim (just like cutting for the ladder/lunchbox) and now when I want to pull them off, I have the original trim. Would have saved me ~$20 to have gone this. May have been a more useful variation when Overlanding as well: Molle + Side rail. May pick up a set anyway.
