I would imagine floats for the end of the winch line.
Possibly for winching boats, I would imagine so anyway. Unless anyone else knows a specific purpose.  ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️Last edited by custom90 on 16th Aug 2018 6:26pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Maybe they park it nose in and use those to feel the wall?

Definitely look like boat fenders, however, what their purpose is in this Defender configuration are I have no idea! For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

yeah I'd agree they look like boat fenders. I suppose they could be there to allow the vehicle to push another vehicle without damage.
You can get them in various sizes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Good-Con-Compas...SwwBha3OsQ |

Could well be, though boat fenders are designed to be soft and flexible so a heavy vehicle pushing against them would almost flatten them and the fixing bolts would then do a bit of damage to car paint and bodywork.

The ones my dad on his boat had a valve so you could pump them up to make them harder. Obviously the bigger the boat the hard you need them to be.
