AB sells 2 kinds, one set for running boards and one without. I wanted to put on the set for no running boards to make it look right. Or maybe it doesn't matter. Sounds like you put the set for running boards back on. Are you missing any trim pieces or does it look stock?

I know I am splitting hairs here, but I want that nice clean stock look if that makes any sense. Thanks for the help.

 

I dont have my disco today I have my RRC, I could send you a pic latter today if you like.

 

I usually stand on the driver's side mudflap to get into the truck.

This way of entering the truck reduces the wear on the driver's seat
as I don't slide across it -
but rather drop into it.

That alone is a reason to keep them on
if you don't need ground clearance.

I don't go to the trails - so they can stay on for me.

Yet - when crawling under the truck to fix things - aka transmission-
these running boards are in the way.

 

correction.
I stand on the running board.
Not awake yet.

 

my disco came without factory running boards and has front mud flaps about 10" behind front wheel well. They are mounted about 6" in from the outside of the body. They are tucked in and behind the front tire, not inline with the wheel well and NOT exactly where the mud flaps are located on your running boards. I bought factory running boards to install just last week so am very familiar with the two different locations

in the end, I did not put the factory running boards on because they made my lifted disco look funny....IMO. I will build nice slider/steps over the winter. I do agree that the factory running boards WILL save your drivers side seat.

 

hahaha I was wondering how one would go about standing on a mudflap to get into their truck...

 

That would be great if you have the time. Doesn't have to be today, I am just getting things lined up to make an order.

 

Well, it's really my wife's truck. I just wash it, vacuum it, service it, fix it,..... You know wht I'm sayin',lol.
She doesn't like the running boards, so .......

Do your mud flaps look like this:

Mud Flap - Left Hand - Front Or Rear (Genuine Part # CAS100910) - Land Rover mud flaps from Atlantic British

or

Mud Flap Kit - Left Hand - Front (Black) Use With STC50030 Side Steps (Genuine Part # STC50222) - Land Rover mud flaps from Atlantic British

If it's the first one, you can reuse them. If it's the second, you'll have to get some that look like the first.
