Running boards / side steps

I should add that I am nuts - I've had 3 different types of rock sliders on my LR4s over the years!

You have not had the Pro-Speed ones have you? Those are the ones I am looking at....

No, but they seem very nice. Do you have any other photos beside their website? How far under do they extend? I did not look in detail, but I assume they ship to the US. My only worry is if they have been fitted to a US LR4?

Here is the link to their Flickr site. They have quite a few pictures of their products on here that are much better than their website.

I have not reached out to them yet. I am waiting till I can order all their bits at the same time and hopefully get some sort of discount as I like their rack, rails and ladder. I just bought the short roof rails in order to prepare for their rack. Their skid system looks good as well.

The only thing I am not sure I like 100% about their rails is that they do not extend far up to the front wheel. I can see that small gap being an issue if you are on a rock and come down just right. Had it happen in my Jeep. Wasn't a pleasant experience......

Yes, and it doesn't look like they extend under the truck to cover the compressor/air tank. I think I read that they were developing an air tank guard? I took a look at the photos, but I can't seem to pinpoint if they do extend far up - that's a good question.

I do like the look of their products for sure, but I would just confirm that they fit the NA LR4. I intially had rock sliders with steps from GN Vehicle Protection out of the UK and had a few fitment issues they did not experience on the Discovery 4.

Yea, like I said, I have not reached out to them yet. They do show pictures for a compressor skid but I don't know about the air tank.

What could possibly be that different? Seems crazy that things would be different in the slider area of the vehicle.

I think this picture shows the inside of the sliders the best.

Do your sliders reach under and attach to the frame?

Wow - that's some awesome protection!

I am not entirely sure what could be different, but I know that the rear of the slider from the UK that I had did not fit with my trim - they told me it would NOT need to be trimmed as it fit on Discovery 4s. I am not sure why the design was a little bit different on the LR4. I even took photos and sent it to him and it was a little different.

Yes, the Tactical 4x4 sliders extend under the truck quite a bit and attach to the frame underneath, not the side like most sliders. They use 2 main body bolts and then 6 others on each slider. They are very heavy!

I've contacted Pro-Speed a few months ago as their products are great. Because of their racing experience you actually get a full underbody armor.
They recommend buying all of the parts at once because of shipping costs.
They did not offer a discount if someone buys all of the parts when I contacted them.

Well, this is good to know. At least it sounds like the shipping becomes a little more favorable?

I take it you decided against purchasing any of their products?

I would be very curious to see what you guys come up with and how it all fits. I would be interested in some of the underbody protection that covers what I don't already have covered - though I doubt I need it. I do like that plate that goes where the spare tire does - I have been reluctant to drop my stock spare tire because it is adding some protection.

Yes I have not gotten anything from them as their prices are ridiculously high. That combined with shipping... I do like the rear and front arms guards tho.
