Frequently asked questions

What is the TF8217 cross member chequer plate?
The TF8217 is a chequer plate cover for the exposed rear face of the chassis cross member on a Land Rover Defender. It shields the rearmost chassis pressing below the rear body from stone chipping, contact from trailer and coupling equipment, and the surface corrosion that starts where the cross member is left bare. Black finish.
Which Defenders does the TF8217 fit?
The TF8217 fits all old-style Land Rover Defenders from 1983 to 2016, including the Puma. It's a black chequer plate for the rear cross member. Confirm your vehicle is an old-style Defender rather than the 2020-on New Defender before ordering.
Why fit a cross member chequer plate?
The TF8217 protects the rear cross member, which takes stone chipping, contact from trailer and coupling equipment, and starts to corrode where it's left bare. The black chequer plate covers this exposed chassis pressing on the Defender, slowing the surface rust that typically begins at the rear.
