Defender 110 Chassis Replacement Package with Fitting

Chassis Replacement Package with Fitting for the Defender 110: the body lifted, a new galvanised chassis fitted and everything transferred across with new fixings.

A Defender or Discovery 1 is only as good as its chassis, and the original was painted steel that rusts from the inside out: rear crossmember first, then the outriggers, then the main rails behind the rear wheels. A galvanised replacement chassis is the permanent answer and adds decades to the vehicle. The bulkhead rusts in the footwells and along the top rail, and on a Defender it is the other half of the same decision. The 110 is the working Defender: farms, estates, utilities and expeditions, usually loaded and usually towing.

Fitting

Labour guide: a workshop job of about two weeks. Land Rover changes specification mid production, often by VIN rather than by model year, so send the VIN or the registration with the order and we confirm the part against the build data before anything leaves. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a part that fits and a return. We are an independent Land Rover specialist and parts supplier. We are not Land Rover or Jaguar Land Rover and are not appointed by them; the model names are their trademarks and are used here to describe fitment. Everything we sell is chosen for vehicles that actually get used: towed with, loaded, driven through water and parked in fields, rather than for the brochure.

Which version to buy

Standard is the standard specification, which is what most vehicles need and what we would quote unless you told us otherwise. There is one specification of this, because it is the one we would fit to our own vehicles and a cheaper version would not be doing you a favour.
