Fenders & Guards

The biggest single category in our catalogue: front and rear fenders (guards/wings) for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40/FJ45, Land Rover Defender 90/110, early Ford Bronco and Datsun 240Z — in steel or aluminium to match the original panel, handed LH/RH, from part-fenders and half assemblies to complete fender assemblies with mounting structure.

The first panel to die

Fenders catch everything: stone spray inside the arch, mud packed against the apron, electrolysis at mounting flanges and impacts at every corner. Lower edges and headlight surrounds go first. Because most classic 4x4 fenders bolt on, they're also the most satisfying panel to replace — an afternoon per side transforms the truck.

Choosing the right fender

Match vehicle, side and era; on Defenders also material (alloy outer fenders vs steel assemblies) and whether you need the fender top, half assembly or complete assembly. Product listings state exactly what structure is included.

Bolt-on or welded?

Front fenders on these platforms bolt on; some rear fenders and inner structures weld — each listing's installation section says which.

Why are some Defender fenders alloy and some steel?

We follow the factory: alloy where Solihull used alloy skins, steel where the original assembly was steel.
