Overview
The Land Rover Defender L663 110 sits tall — purposefully so. That commanding ground clearance is one of the defining characteristics of the platform, whether it's being used for daily urban commuting or weekend off-road excursions. But that same ride height can make entry and exit more demanding than it needs to be, particularly for passengers who aren't expecting the step up. These side steps address that directly without compromising the Defender's stance.
Constructed from a combination of high-grade aluminum alloy, reinforced steel mounting hardware, and durable plastic trims, this side step set is engineered specifically for the Defender 110 L663 (2020–2021) chassis. The black finish integrates cleanly with the vehicle's existing lower body cladding and underbody trim, giving the impression of a factory-fitted accessory rather than an afterthought. Beyond the aesthetic, the nerf bar profile adds a layer of physical protection to your vehicle's lower sills — guarding against trail debris, kerb strikes, and light impacts.
This is a complete left-and-right pair, supplied with all necessary brackets and hardware for a clean, secure installation. If you're building out your Defender for practical daily use or want to elevate its exterior presence without altering its character, these side steps are a well-considered addition that earns its place on the vehicle.

Installation Notes
Difficulty: Moderate · Estimated Time: 60–90 minutes · Tools: Basic socket set, torque wrench
- Park the Defender on a level surface and ensure the vehicle is secure before beginning work beneath it.
- Locate the factory side sill mounting points along the underside of the Defender 110 chassis — these are the designated anchor positions for the brackets.
- Offer up the steel mounting brackets to the chassis and hand-tighten the supplied bolts to confirm positioning and alignment before fully securing.
- Attach the aluminum step bars to the fitted brackets, ensuring the step surface faces upward and is level along the vehicle's length.
- Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specified values — do not over-tighten, particularly on aluminum-threaded interfaces.
- Test each step under load before driving — apply firm downward pressure to confirm there is no flex, movement, or instability.
- Inspect mounting points after the first 100 miles of use and re-torque if necessary.
⚠ Note: Professional installation is strongly recommended if you are not familiar with working beneath a raised vehicle. Incorrect fitment may affect step integrity and could cause damage to chassis mounting points. Always use appropriate vehicle support equipment — never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
