Lower Tailboard Bracket is the left-hand bracket for the bottom-hinged rear tailboard, part of the tailboard mounting assembly.

It secures the lower edge of the tailboard to the rear body, forming the left-hand hinge point about which the tailboard drops down when opened. On this side the bracket also provides the anchor for the tailboard support cable that limits how far the tailboard drops.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MUC8739 lower tailboard bracket and what does it do?
The MUC8739 is the left-hand lower tailboard bracket for the Land Rover Defender. It secures the lower edge of the bottom-hinged tailboard to the rear body and, on this side, anchors the tailboard support cable that limits how far the tailboard drops.
Which Defenders does this tailboard bracket fit?
This lower tailboard bracket fits the Defender from 2007-2016, from VIN 7A000001, left-hand side. It suits Pick Up, High Capacity Pick Up, Crew Cab, Hard Top and Soft Top bodies with the lower-hinged tailboard. Confirm your body type before ordering.
What's different about the left-hand tailboard bracket?
The left-hand MUC8739 bracket carries the anchor point for the tailboard support cable, which the right-hand bracket doesn't. This cable limits how far the tailboard drops when opened, so the left bracket takes that extra load.
Do I need one bracket or a pair?
The MUC8739 is the left-hand bracket only. A complete lower tailboard hinge usually uses a bracket on each side, so you'll typically need the matching right-hand bracket as well for a full replacement.
