Defender 90 Rear Ladder

Rear Ladder for the Defender 90: a rear access ladder for the roof.

Protection and practical equipment for vehicles that leave the tarmac: snorkels, underbody guards, rock sliders, roof racks, ladders and lighting. Chosen for strength rather than appearance, and each one lists its weight and whether it affects insurance or MOT. The 90 is the short wheelbase and the one that gets used hardest off road, so the parts on it are the ones we see worn out fastest.

Fitting

Labour guide: about 1 hour. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Standard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. There is one specification of this, because it is the one we would fit to our own vehicles and a cheaper version would not be doing you a favour.
