Land Rover Defender Stainless Steel Titan Tubular Side Step 90 & 110 - 3mm:
Description:
Our Defender Titan Side Steps are made from 3mm stainless steel tube, making them twice as strong as standard Land Rover Defender sidesteps. All aftermarket steps have a thickness of 1.5mm-2mm. We have invested heavily in custom Mandrel tooling, enabling us to bend 3mm tube with the correct radius and minimise tube waste/offcuts.
We have also employed custom CNC tooling to cut the correct radius of the tube into the underside of the treadplate, ensuring a perfect contour match with no gaps or holes around the edges. A 2mm CNC machined radius is applied to all edges and lugs on the treadplate, resulting in a superior smooth finish.
All of our laser-cut edges undergo linishing to achieve a high standard, and a nice radius is applied before assembly. This eliminates abrupt edges, a common cause of paint failure on standard sidesteps. Each Defender side step undergoes bead blasting prior to painting to enhance paint adhesion and eliminate material contamination, as opposed to shot blasting, which contains iron.
Treadplates:
The Treadplates are CNC machined from hardened plastic. This specific design, process & material used ensures they stay free from fading, cracking, & warping. We have increased the thickness of the treadplates slightly compared to standard sidesteps and CNC machined our treadplates from a different composite, as opposed to the standard treadplates produced through plastic injection molding.
Our composite treadplates do not chip as they are not painted and their natural colour & texture is a smooth black. The correct radius / contour of the tube is machined on the underside of the treadplate. This allows them to fit to the sidestep with precision, eliminating all gaps.
Mounting Brackets:
The mounting brackets for our sidesteps are available in standard height and lowered height. The price is the same for both variants, it just depends on what specification you require.
Standard height: These brackets are to the same height and standard Land Rover brackets, but they protrude an additional 10mm in comparison for a little extra foot room.
Lowered Height: These sit 25mm lower and 25mm further out from the side of the vehicle compared to the standard height variant. These are designed to be used on vehicles with aftermarket Rocksliders / larger sills as well as people who want a lower sidestep for ease of access in general. The additional space will allow users enough room to fit their feet in-between the sidestep and the Rocksliders without restriction.
Our Mounting Brackets are made from 2mm Stainless Steel and are detachable. This is so that in the unfortunate event of an accident or side impact, the 3mm sidestep itself will not bend and the brackets will give way first before causing damage to the chassis or bodywork.
As the brackets are detachable, you can purchase new brackets only separately, rather than having to purchase complete new sidesteps. Although the brackets have been designed to bend first, they still give a significant increase in side protection over standard thickness alternatives.
End Caps:
The end caps on our Defender Sidesteps are welded, sealed and shaped with a nice radius around the edge. Not only does this look better than the standard plastic end caps & removes the sharp abrupt edge of the tube, but it also stops water & contaminant ingress inside the sidestep.
