Range Rover Classic
Rock Sliders
Several
companies make sliders for the Classic. One of the strongest, neatest
and least expensive designs is the one offered by Atlantic
British
(pictured at left). These all-steel sliders are secured to both the
body and the chassis, and look almost like the stock plastic trim
panel. Cost is about $499. Some drilling is required but installation
is easy.

plastic trim panel.
Rovers North offers a
similar design but which protrudes further out the side.
Safari Gard and
Rovertym
both make sill guards for $550. For
somewhat more the Safari Gard ones can be modified to double as
on-board
air supply tanks. (To me the wisdom of
using parts like bumpers and sliders which are designed to take damage
from rocks as air tanks seems questionable, but it is not uncommon
practice in the 4x4 world!).

Bulldog Spares Ltd of Fall River Massachussetts (508) 646-9230 makes a
heavier version
for the Classic which also incorporates
hi lift jacking holes, and Rockware
makes their own version of sill guards that attach to the chassismas
well as an array of other protection devices such as
modified
trailing links and extra strength steering links.
