The Defender cargo bed is great for hauling, but anything you leave in it is out in the weather and easy to grab. The Highlands rear bed cover closes off the whole bed with a weatherproof, lockable lid. It is shaped to match the Defender and leaves room underneath for gas cans, coolers and tools.
Why Defender Owners Like It
- Covers the entire cargo bed and seals out dust and water.
- Lockable, so tools and gear stay put on job sites and at camp.
- Enough room for gas cans, coolers, helmets and gear.
- Molded from impact-resistant low-density polyethylene, 70 lb.
- Installs and removes in minutes.
Tips
- Keep heavy gear centered in the bed.
- Check the seals once a season.
- Rinse off mud before locking.

Installation Notes
Follow the JC11144 PDF to install. On 2026+ HD11 models, Moto Alliance says the cover fits with the OEM snorkel kit. At 70 lb, get a second person to help lift it into place. Once it is on, open and close the lid a few times and make sure the latches line up and the seals sit flat before you lock it for the first time. If your Defender has an aftermarket rack, roof-mounted spare or bed accessories, check clearance before ordering.
