    Rock/Tree Sliders

    Hi everyone.

    This one is for the UK contingent I’m afraid.

    Apart from importing Rock Sliders from Lucky 8 has anyone found any UK Manufactured ones which meet the same tough spec?

    I love my door sills but can’t quite justify the £1500 import price no matter how much I keep bashing them on the Bomb-Hole down Strata-Florida.

    Thanks in advance.

    The only D5 Rock Sliders I can find in the UK market are these ones...imported from Australia, which still isn't of much use.

    Still a hefty price tag on them though which doesn't include the no doubt even heftier shipping charges...and they don't come with tree bars.

    If I could find a set of UK supplied D5 Rock/tree sliders from the likes of Terra Firma...I'd already have them fitted to mine. Looks like we'll have to wait until more D5 owners are less protective of the precious and start green laning with them. Neutral

    Like this guy... All his mods are imported from the US or Australia too though.

    Viscous circle isn’t it. Hardly anyone wants to off road in a D5 so not much in the way of UK accessories, but not much in the way of UK accessories so no one wants to off road their D5 without protection.

    The circle has to break at some point.

    Probably after I’ve written off my family D5. Smile

    Prospeed developed some. But only ever made 2 prototype sets. They never actually put them in to production.

    I've hassled them a few times about it, but no sign that they're ever going to make them available to D5 owners.....except one of us Wink (not me unfortunately Rolling Eyes ).

    It might change when the '17 plate D5's reach their 10 year old mark and if more of the current D3/D4 crowd fancy chucking a D5 about off-road a bit...here's hoping Thumbs Up
