*Another* mud rails thread

[Aaron]

Just a query regarding Mud rails. i just received a set from expeditionexchange.com ( https://www.expeditionexchange.com/c...2&cat=0&page=1 ) and was just double checking that the rails they sell in America will fit an 03 defender (au spec)

I know its bad manners not to introduce myself to the forum, but i will when a Defender is parked in my driveway (next week)

Considering mud rails come from the UK.... Guess what!

Yes, they fit, the seats dont change anywhere!

If you have not yet fitted these to your Defender, can you take a few photos and measurements and post them up for me?

I am thinking of fabricating some myself, as at 6'3" I feel like I need to get back a bit from the dash.

If you could do that - I'd appreciate it.

how about you do what he did and buy some

talk about more front than myers.....

[spudboy]

yeah - i know what you're saying, but I love building things with my welder. As a percentage of the cost of the car the $120-odd is pretty insignificant.....

i will do a very detailed photo/report thread, with all measurements. photos of my legs before and after etc. ( 6'5 )

I wont be fitting them at home, but i will remove than refit then to take the pictures.

Here's a link to something similar.

I want to do it myself too as I would hate to spend the money only to find I don't like them.

That link doesn't direct me to anything specific, but I believe I know what it is.


I purchased mine before I even owned a defender (still technically don't.... yet.) I figured if they didn't work for me, I could sell them here in under a day.
