The BYC500070 is a tailgate retaining cable for Land Rover Defender High Capacity (Hicap) pickup variants, designed to support and limit the travel of the rear tailgate when open. This cable prevents the tailgate from dropping beyond its designed angle, protecting both the tailgate hinges and the cable attachment points from overload damage. A worn or snapped retaining cable results in the tailgate falling unsupported, risking damage to the gate, hinges, and any load in the bed.
