as it says , having just found some black holes behind mine i was thinking of leaving the trims off , and if the kids can get in and out , maybe the sidesteps off too .
any advice ?

ditch the sil corrosion accelerators, and then lose the steps - then fit sliders/tree bars

Just leave em in the shed mate, no one will find them. Next time the scrap man calls, get rid of them.

Side steps are that heavy 'cos they're little better than thick metal tubing .. indeterminate origin, the cheapest of cheap crap, and as strong and useful offroad as a chocolate bar that's melted. Decent square tubed rock/tree sliders of a similar size might have 1/4 the size wall thickness, be far lighter and way stronger.
