    Defender guard protector and toolbox

    Just thought I'd post some pictures of Defender mudguard protectors I formed up. I thought I'd make use of the cavity in the right side guard and formed up some panels, shifted a few things and turned it in to a useful storage box. Can't be opened unless the bonnet is up.Landy stuff 008.jpg

    Bloody good design!!! You should line the box, put in a few tie down points and sell it as a replacement! Great place for the snatch strap, shackles , and tyre gear etc even could put in a compressor !!
    How much did the whole kit cost + time spent?

    Stealth by name and stealth by design uhh. Cool storage idea. Most folk would walk past that and not even see it even if the bonnet was up.

    Outstanding - I was considering the same thing but not sure hwo to go about it.

    In the first pic there is a cutout on the guard protector at the front corner... why ?
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    That is so well designed. I have seen a similar set up on a Series Landy, but they don't have the inner guard, so there was a box recessed into the guard, a bit like the optional storage box that fits under the middle seat of the series Land Rovers.

    Is the back of the guard (wheel arch) still open on yours?

    I reckon you should line it with rubber, and if you're putting anything hard that can rattle, just fit an old thick sock over it first (ie can of WD40 in a sock). Then pad it up with a bag of rags, which are always handy, so that rattles don't do your head in.

    Well done.
