Tie up your Land Rover's mud flaps to prevent damage
This number plate needs fixing higher before off-roading
If you consider that there is a danger of losing your mud flaps, you should tie them up using cable ties, cord or bungey straps. The only time that you can have a problem is when the vehicle has been fitted with aggressive and large tyres. If the mud flaps are in close proximity of the wheel and you need to reverse back through a gully or back to the bottom of a steep bank, you could trap the bottom edge of the mud flap between the tyre and the ground possibly tearing it off its mounting. You have been warned!

Rear low-mounted foglights ought to be removed, too, as they won't last long. Likewise, low front-mounted fog or driving lamps are going to get caught up very quickly even in mild off-road situations.
The front mounted spoiler on the Efi 1985-onwards Classic Range Rover should also be taken off, complete with driving lamps. I know, driving very carefully in mild conditions, you can get away without busting it, but if you are going to tackle any serious off-roading you will be best advised to take it off first when within the confines of your nice clean garage or driveway.
The lamps have plugs and sockets, and the latter simply locates into a spring clip to keep it out of the way. The spoiler itself is fixed with only a few bolts, leaving the number plate bracket in position. Take my advice, if you want to enjoy your off-roading with a Classic Range Rover fitted with a spoiler, take it off first.
