Does anyone do rubber Defender-like mud flaps for a D4? <EOM>

[BrianElloy]

Keen as.

I fitted Defender 90 rear mud flaps to the rear of my D4. I used genuine LR as they had the “Land Rover” logo. You need to remove the metal bracket and trim the rubber so it fits around the exhaust.

Discovery 1 fronts fit the front of a Discovery 4 without cutting, just need a couple of new holes for fixing screws. I wasn’t fussed about the ‘Mountain’ logo so didn’t use genuine parts.

Kelvo do you reckon the D1 fronts would also fit on the rear?

2 pairs of eBay Defender / County mud flaps @ $35/pair, and some Land Rover decals also from eBay

They would fit, but would be too small IMHO. The D1 fronts are only 240mm wide, the Defender 90 rears are 360mm wide.

Plenty of discussion here a few years ago.

You will find my fitting 3-4 pages in. Mine are still going strong.

I went with the advice from the thread & fitted D1 & Defender flaps, front & rear respectively. 4 years now & still going strong.

I did the same and they’re just right. Rears have the logo on and the fronts are smaller but adequate for the job. Got them from Rimmer in the UK from memory. Not expensive and good delivery time.
I also have chains to hold them up if we go through sand but just leave them attached ‘cos I’m too lazy to disconnect them. 😀

On some of the tracks here - going backwards would result in those being torn off by the tyre.

Agree.
My D4 is for towing the holiday home on wheels.
My serious off-road fun activities are in the past and out of my system now.

I know they are not Defender mudflaps, but I fitted a set of these Tuff Rok mudlaps 12 months ago and they are great.

I wrecked a mudflap and mounting bracket on the Defender a while back by backing up a sand dune.
I ordered a genuine bracket from one of the English companies through eBay, since it has to be the right size.
I think mudflaps are disposable items, so I measured the size and thickness and then bought a cheap replacement in Supercheap and fitted it.
So far it has survived being pounded around western Qld and Tassie.
They all come from China anyway, don't they?
