Frequently asked questions

What does the tailgate hinge do on a Land Rover Defender?

The tailgate hinge is the lower hinge the drop-down tailboard pivots on. It carries one side of the tailboard along its lower edge, letting the tailgate swing down on its hinge line and bearing the load when the tailgate is open. This is the right-hand hinge.

Which models does this tailgate hinge fit?

This right-hand tailgate hinge fits the Land Rover Series II and III from 1958-1985 and the Defender from 1983-2016, where it serves as the lower tailboard or tail door hinge. Check the side and model when ordering.

Do I need one hinge or two for the tailgate?

The drop-down tailgate pivots on a hinge at each side, so a full hinge set is a pair. This part is the right-hand hinge only; order the left-hand hinge as well if you're renewing both, which is common when the originals have rusted.

Is fitting a tailgate hinge a DIY job?

Fitting a tailgate hinge is typically a DIY job, though the mounting bolts on an older Land Rover often seize and may need to be drilled or cut out. Once the old hinge is off, the replacement bolts to the body and tailboard in its place.
