defender lift gate

#1 Post by ryancr500 » Mon May 09, 2022 8:30 am

I'm looking to convert my 110 project from a rear swing out door to a lift gate and fold down tail gate. I have the fold down tailgate but need the lift hatch. Does anyone have one laying around? Not sure if the series one's would fit.

There really are only Series ones. It was very rarely used on a Defender. Regardless they are the same item.

You need to thoroughly review the parts catalog as there are a lot of little parts needed that you may miss. IME when you get a used one there are things missing. Series trucks have the roof side of the hinges welded in. Defenders had a riveted in piece and these are quite rare.

You can buy the gates new now from SP-4x4 but most of the parts you need to find used.

thanks for the reply. Hoping someone has something around. Figured it would be a series rover item.
