So, like tends to happen, my factory fit side steps are pretty much jiggered and rusted through.... they are crunching when I get in an out, so will shortly give way 🤣.

Should I replace with aluminium ones or steel ones?

I know the steel ones will be stronger.... but the aluminium ones won’t rust and rot again...

What you folks recon?

Aluminium ones here... might be cheap and iffy.....

And some, I’m guessing steel, ones from Direct 4x4....

LRParts.net would appear to offer both versions at around the same price point, but they do say in their description that the more expensive version you mention is also alloy.

Personally on an older vehicle I would go with what works and looks OK now, ie LRParts.net £150 version (never had a problem with their service and patience over the phone).

So they do...

Think I need to have a crawl underneath and see if I can undo the existing bolts...

Steel will rust but the aluminium will corrode so they will both have a limited life....  Pete

Cheers Pete. Been here before haven’t we 🤣.

There are some for £150 but missing new bolts.

I seem to think the bolts were 6 and 8mm from last time, but might be wrong. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Just ordered a pair of the below from LR Parts.....

They had some with missing bolts and fitting kit, which I don’t need, so got some for £150 plus VAT....

Nice one!  L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue. 07MY

Lots of penetrating fluid, daily, for a week before you swap them, if they snap off they will be a PITA to sort...  Pete
