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, 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 crash worthiness 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 optional stainless steel blanking plug to conceal trailer plug opening in rear cross member use: PBP0001. For brake line clip kit to fit this chassis use: RNB1104CK
