Chassis only. OEM Marsland center seam manufactured with hot dipped galvanized finish. This is a complete upgrade, offering the latest in chassis structural technology from Land Rover for owners who want to improve their Defender chassis. Stronger, with reinforced bulkhead outriggers and body mounts. Safer, with improved crash performance. The rear cross member features integral fixing nuts for convenient mounting of NAS step, tow, and recovery equipment with a recessed mounting point for towing plug so it is no longer exposed underneath. Chassis only does not include a galvanized gearbox, tubular cross member, galvanized adjustable rear body mounting bracket, or stainless steel fuel tank protection plate. Use RNS365 for a kit that includes these components. This chassis is not compatible with the original rear NAS step bumper. Made in the UK.
Rovers North only supplies Genuine Land Rover and OEM Marsland Defender chassis. Both these chassis are manufactured on the same Land Rover tooling. The Genuine chassis is supplied in electrostatic E-coat Black and the Marsland is supplied hot dipped galvanized for superior corrosion protection. These are not to be confused with an aftermarket chassis. Aftermarket chassis will not have the same level of dimensional accuracy, and strength, and are not crash-compliant. In fact, all aftermarket chassis are completely hollow on the inside. Only Genuine and OEM Marsland Defender chassis main rails are constructed from two C sections that are reinforced above the axles and suspension outriggers. Each section is also cross-baffled for improved strength and crashworthiness before being welded together. This is why only the Genuine and OEM Marsland chassis main rails are center seam welded. Beyond superior strength and rigidity, this internal reinforcement is engineered to prevent intrusion of the steering column and front radius arms into the occupant area upon frontal impact, protection simply not possible with an aftermarket chassis.
NOTE: For galvanized gearbox cross member use: PLI243. For the stainless steel blanking plug to cover the trailer plug opening in the rear cross member use: PBP0001. For the brake line mounting clip kit to fit this chassis use RNB9095K. For a compatible rear step bumper with a Class III receiver use PLB064, or PLB064XD
