Thanks for the feed back just ordered them today, tjm, they were very professional and helpful.
He said it was better to get sidesteps done first, before brown davis plates underneath.
The guy said they might have to cut a chunk out of underbody protection to accomodate sidesteps, shouldnt be a problem should it?
And another 4 wd place said they could install recovery points at rear without tow bar, but they would have to drill holes in the chassis, is this a safe thing to do, drilling into frame of truck?

Side steps should not be an issue with the bash plates. I have the Powerfull4x4 steps (which are slightly different) and had no issues.

With the read recovery points – sounds like it would be easier to get a towbar fitted. Just a thought…

I didn't think brown davis covered the actuator on the transfer case, but i could be wrong.

Had a look tonight and it covers the lot.
