Noo leave them on, they did the job, if that rock made that much of a mess of your steps, imagine what it would have done to your door and sil!!!!

Got to agree with you - i have a dent in my disco door from that lane due to lack of rock sliders.

Good day out, lads.

Chapel Gate in the dark was pretty damn

Might keep em on for a bit will straighten em out a bit first gotta get 2" lift on suspension

Perhaps work on strengthening them rather than removing.

Although they are a little wide.

Just fit sliders

Will have to sort something out with em might look at getting sliders ! How hard to fit are they ?

Not hard.

Offer up, fix to sill, drill outriggers and fit brackets, bolt up etc etc.

Couple hours work, one of the best mods tbh, very handy!

Easy if you have all tools

To be fair, my rock sliders more than earned their keep for me today.

Anyone got any floating round lol

Two of my favourite lanes, Hollinsclough and Roych ..

Liked the squealing and squeaking on the steps down Hollinsclough .. sounded like the wife/girlfriend/whatever was enjoying it a bit too much ..

jesus those steps were high. and a bit slippy with the frost. i went down the big couple a bit quicker than i wanted to. still no oil trail and i dont think anything was bent so all ok.

We drove past that yesterday afternoon... pre any snow.

Maybe we need to re-run the trip today!!!

Ha ha, have received a few pics from pals up on the tops today documenting an amount of snow.

We will be blessed with snow this year but not sure if its coming thick this week!

Thanks everyone for yesterday, was awesome to meet new folks and old

List of problems:

• Steering off centre.
• Reverse lights failed (again)
• Anti-tank-gun proof rear bumper slightly adjusted by hollinsclough, needs a little nudge!
• OSR quarter panel slightly claimed by rear bumper which was slightly adjusted by hollinsclough (not the first time this has happened, needs another application of hammer)
• gearbox is getting noisier

There are other problems but I won't share them with you, they're personal

Think my mate Gaz has some pics and vids on his phone, will see anout getting hold of it to upload them tonight

The lad who came with me has shed loads of pics. Soon as I get those, I'll post on here.
