Decrease in rigidity of an outer panel around its opening is suppressed. A vehicle outer panel assembly includes a fender panel lower part, which is an outer panel for a vehicle, and a bracket that reinforces the fender panel lower part. The fender panel lower part is perforated in a part thereof and thereby includes a frame part formed therein. The frame part includes a narrow rear crosspiece formed at an end edge of the fender panel lower part. The bracket is overlapped on and secured to the rear crosspiece.

A rear part structure of a vehicle body includes: a rear side frame, extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle body on an outside of a floor of a rear part of the vehicle body in a vehicle width direction; and a wheelhouse, arranged outside the rear side frame in the vehicle width direction. At least a portion of an outer wall of the rear side frame in the vehicle width direction is formed by the wheelhouse. A partition member provided within a section of the rear side frame has one end in the vehicle width direction joined to the outer wall formed by the wheelhouse, extends from the outer wall to a front side of the vehicle body and inward in the vehicle width direction, and has the other end in the vehicle width direction joined to an inner wall of the rear side frame.

The present invention provides an improvement for the attachment of lighting or other accessories to a vehicle. In one configuration, a light box is attached to the rear of a vehicle by the use of a novel attachment feature, namely attachment via the use of protruding chain loops. Other accessories may similarly be attached thereto through similar means.

A fender assembly includes a fender bracket and a fender for use on a vehicle. The fender bracket includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion; the fender includes a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion, the first fixing portion is connected to the first connecting portion and the second fixing portion is connected to the second connecting portion. The fender bracket and the fender form a ring-shaped structure.

A vehicle front body structure includes: a vehicle body frame member arranged behind a front tire of a vehicle; and an extending member located in front of the vehicle body frame member so as to face the front tire and arranged at a height overlapping in a vehicle up-down direction with the front tire, wherein the extending member extends outward in a vehicle width direction beyond a front pillar and a side sill. The front pillar and side sill constitute the vehicle body frame member.

A retractable fender flare device includes a plurality of mounting tracks each mounted in a respective wheel well in a vehicle. A plurality of fender flares is each movably attached to a respective one of the mounting tracks. Each of the plurality of fender flares is positionable in a deployed position to protect the vehicle from dirt and debris kicked up by tires of the vehicle and each of the plurality of fender flares is positionable in a retracted position. A plurality of actuators is attached to a respective one of the mounting tracks for urging the respective fender flare into the deployed position and the retracted position. A control panel is mounted within a cab of the vehicle to facilitate a driver of the vehicle to control the actuators for moving the fender flares between the deployed position and the retracted position.

A tow truck dolly fenders kit designed to enhance the functionality and safety of tow dollies, as described. The kit includes a pair of durable fenders, a front fender aligned with a rear fender, each shaped to contour over at least the top of the dolly wheels or tires for providing a protective shield against debris and hazards. A central bracket is positioned between the fenders and facilitates easy, secure attachment to the tow dolly without the need for drilling or permanent modifications. The bracket is integrated with the fenders via a connecting member and extends below thereof for straightforward mounting. The fenders are equipped with multiple reflectors to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, ensuring safe navigation. The kit is made from robust materials such as aluminum or steel and may include apertures for additional securement and an anti-corrosion coating for enhanced durability.

A mud flap system for a vehicle includes at least a rear passenger side mud flap with a rear passenger side mud flap upper mounting bracket and a rear passenger side central mounting bracket assembly. The rear passenger side mud flap upper mounting bracket configured to slideably connect a rear passenger side mud flap mounting extension of the rear passenger side mud flap to a vehicle surface, and the rear passenger side central mounting bracket assembly configured to slideably connect a rear passenger side mud flap upper edge to a vehicle second surface. The mud flap system for a vehicle may also include at least a rear driver side mud flap, a front passenger side mud flap, and/or a front drive side mud flap. The rear driver side mud flap may be substantially similar in construction to the rear passenger side mud flap. The front passenger side mud flap may include a front passenger side mounting bracket configured to slideably connect the front passenger side mud flap to a vehicle surface. The front drive side mud flap may be substantially; similar in construction to the front passenger side mud flap.

A mud flap holder device includes a cylindrical housing which has a mounting plate that is attachable to a frame of a vehicle to orient the cylindrical housing behind a wheel of the vehicle. A roller is rotatably positioned in the cylindrical housing and the roller has a jaw extending downwardly from the roller. A mud flap can be compressed between the jaw of the roller and a jaw of the cylindrical housing for releasably retaining the mud flap on the vehicle. The mud flap is pulled outwardly from between the jaw of the roller and the jaw of the cylindrical housing when the wheel of the vehicle rolls over the mud flap when the vehicle is backing up to inhibit the mud flap from being damaged. A locking mechanism is movably attached to the cylindrical housing to either lock the roller or enable the roller to rotate.
