I bought a Rover because I miss the days of bloody knuckles and baling wire. I used to work on vehicles because I had to if I wanted to get where I was going. Now I do it because I enjoy it. So if you don't like having to do a little fabrication and creative thinking, maybe it's time to buy a something more like a new Toyota FJ.
As for hijacking, I think it's important to remember that a forum is simply an online conversation and of course a conversation continues to evolve. I enjoyed seeing and hearing about a few different ideas and the thought of adding rear corner protectors now has me thinking of a new project for my truck. I agree that the issue of the bolt holes was pretty well answered and unless you were looking for someone to come over and drill them for you, it sounds like you were just looking to complain and there's no reason why the conversation shouldn't move on now.
I'll even offer my my own hijack. My 109 came with the original side steps that are all rusted up. My wife would like them to be restored and put back on. I would like to put on rock sliders. Of course if I was to add sliders and the steps, the first time I used the sliders, the steps would be scraped off like bugs on the windscreen. Anyone ever seen sliders that incorporate a folding drop step???

I pointed out a simple etiquette issue . Do you deny that it's rude to hyjack a thread? Kinda like butting into someone's conversation.... Or do the polite rules of society not apply to you?
I thought we were all all adults... or at least grown ups...
An ad homonym attack on the poster does not detract from the issue. Either its rude ....or not....
No offense intended dude, but you really need to chill. The thread may have gone off the slider fitment issue, but if your intention is to get some help on that issue, you'll eventually figure out that most of the other posters have years of series truck experience who are willing to mull it over and come back with useful suggestions. Like all series truck owners you're going to have countless issues with your own truck which can be worked out by the group. If no one else posted anything which you found of any value, then so be it, but you'll find valuable information in every thread if you chill out and read all the posts. No OP owns the thread he starts, and you will be hard pressed to find very many if any posts with personal attacks. It really doesn't take that long to read new posts to any thread, and your time can't be that precious. Sit back and enjoy the board. This board is very much like Guns And Rovers, i.e., all the threads are casual converstions amongst people with a common interest. Think how mundane it would be if every conversation were governed by rules that they stick only to the opening remark.
