I just took a set of new 78 series factory jobs to the tip on the weekend unfortunately.
If you do go with rails, beware of the crappy TJM rails, they are very flimsy. It'd be very easy to make your own sturdy set if not for the exhaust outside the chassis rails on the RHS.

Haysie, I made my own steps. They run the full length between the wheels and I made them hollow so that each step can hold 20l of water. I had to engineer new brackets for them, the steps have 4 tubes welded through them so that bolts can pass right through without causing a leak. The 3 forward brackets fit to the existing holes plus a fourth bracket which is on the same lines as the others. Brackets extend inward to the chassis frame and there semi wrap around the inner edge of the step tank.
