I got a Richard's heavy duty chassis a couple of years ago. Very happy with it, I think standard Land Rover are 1.6mm, normal galvanised 2mm and heavy duty 3mm. Should see me out!

I’m going to replace anything that’s not 100% I tend to do my best to make her as good as new , do me another 17 years , the price of new vehicles is so much it will make a good spend on this well worth while .

Money and effort well spent I would say. Td5’s are making the pumas look cheap now too as they are a lot better motor

We put a marsland under ours last winter, mainly due to britparts having one in stock as there were long lead times dealing directly. No problems with the chassis though.
Also painted it with 2 pack epoxy primer and topcoat then blasted all the rest of the running gear serviced and painted.

My land rover has a marsland chassis. If I were to do it to another land rover, I would have it galv and painted.,

It's worth replacing the body mounts with yrm galv ones.

Skintagain · Nov 1, 2021

Then the other hundred things.

Soon at 5k for bits.

5-8k would go far toward a new 4x4 tho .

Obviously noone would ever dream of doing such a thing, but has anyone cut out the old chassis number and welded it into a replacement Galv one thn painted it etc, as I am led to believe they're not stamped?
