Abstract
In a vehicle for uneven ground operation in which rear wheels are covered from above with respective rear fenders and respective mud guards attached to the rear fenders. Respective tail lamps are disposed adjacent to the rear fenders with the tail lamps being supported by the mud guards. Projecting and depressed portions formed on each of the mud guards to prevent interference with the tail lamp are no longer necessary so that the mud guard is molded easily. Even if there is an interference with the tail lamp during driving, the flexible mud guard is warped so that an impact on the tail lamp from the outside is prevented. Since the tail lamp is not mounted on the fender, the configuration of the fender can be simplified and cost can be reduced.
