Nah I step over them. My brother in law took a hit on his aluminium steps and they bent the body right up! If he had no steps it wouldn't have done any damage so that's my reason for taking them off. Sliders will come eventually.
If you're happy and you know it tap a post!
spent a couple of days at the farm, comparing the patrol to the father inlaws landcruiser ute that he has just finished piecing back together! the ute is great for getting firewood,but not as able at climbing hills as there is bugger all flex in those leaf springs! beat him up a few hills!
Took my sliders off as the powder coating was stuffed, will get them sandblasted asap and paint them.
Removed the Inter-cooler and fan, chucked the fan as it was stuffed, renewed all tubes and made a bracket to support the back of the cooler with a hammer and drill.......6 hours it took me, lucky that I have a fence to stop things from landing on the street when I spat the dum..LOL
Tomorrow will be finally making and fitting some rear mudflaps...
Oh and increased to turbo boost.

IF ITS NOT BROKEN IT MUST BE A PATROL
Washed it so I could count the number of new scratches...... Ran out of fingers and toes so gave up and had a beer....
