Hood Stick Kits for Land Rover Defender 90 (1987-2016)
Upgrade your Land Rover Defender 90 with the ultimate structural foundation for a soft-top conversion. The Masai 4x4 Hood Stick Kits are engineered to provide a robust, precise, and durable framework, ensuring your canvas hood fits perfectly and stays taut in all conditions.
Whether you are restoring a classic or updating a modern Tdci, these kits offer a professional-grade solution for transitioning your hard-top to the iconic soft-top silhouette.
Choose Your Generation:
We provide two distinct configurations to match the specific structural changes made during the Defender 90's production run:
- Pre-Td5 Hood Stick Kit (MA022693): Designed for early Defender 90 models (1987–1998). This kit is tailored for the classic chassis and tub configurations found on 4-cylinder and 300Tdi models.
- Post-Td5 & Tdci Hood Stick Kit (MA022986): Specifically engineered for Defender 90 models from 1999 through 2016. This kit accounts for the subtle body and mounting variations introduced during the Td5 and subsequent "Puma" (2.4/2.2) production eras.
Key Features:
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-quality steel tubing to provide maximum structural integrity for your soft-top.
- Durable Powder-Coated Finish: Each component is finished in a tough, corrosion-resistant black powder coating, designed to withstand harsh off-road environments.
- Original Equipment (OE) Specification: Built to the exact dimensions of the original Land Rover frames, ensuring 100% compatibility with standard canvas hoods.
- Complete Hardware Solution: Each kit includes the front header rail, main hoops, intermediate stays, horizontal bars, and all required brackets and fixings for a seamless installation.
- Precision Fitment: Designed to eliminate the "flapping" and sagging often caused by aged or bent frames, significantly reducing wind noise inside the cabin.
Why Choose Masai 4x4 Stick Kits?
A canvas hood is only as good as the frame it sits on. Our stick kits provide a rigid, correctly aligned structure that extends the lifespan of your fabric hood. Whether you're heading to the beach or the green lanes, these kits ensure your Defender remains a versatile, all-weather icon.
