Half Chassis for Land Rover Defender
Extend the life of your Land Rover with our high-quality Rear Half Chassis replacements. The rear section of the Defender chassis is notoriously prone to internal corrosion due to trapped mud and road salt. Our half chassis provides a comprehensive solution for vehicles where the front section remains sound, but the rear requires a complete structural overhaul.
Precision Engineered for a Perfect Match We offer specific configurations to suit the wheelbase and engine evolution of your Defender. Each unit is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure that suspension mounting points, fuel tank brackets, and body mounts align perfectly with your existing setup.
Available Variants:
- Defender 90: Specifically tailored for the shorter wheelbase, including all correct crossmember detailing.
- Defender 110: Engineered to support the longer frame, ensuring maximum longitudinal strength for towing and heavy loads.
Engine & Year Compatibility: To ensure a seamless "cut and shut" installation, our half chassis are designed for the following specific model eras:
- 200TDi & 300TDi: Matches the original chassis architecture of the classic TDi era, featuring the correct mounting depths and crossmember profiles.
- TD5, Puma 2.4 & Puma 2.2: Updated design to accommodate the specific fuel tank arrangements and exhaust routing found on later TD5 and TDCi/Puma models.
Structural Integrity & Protection Constructed from high-grade structural steel, these sections are designed to restore the factory-rated strength of your vehicle. They come with all the necessary outriggers and mounting points pre-welded in their correct positions, significantly reducing the labour time required for installation.
Key Features:
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from 2mm and 3mm structural steel (depending on the section) for superior durability.
- Clean Cut Points: Designed with generous overlap sections to allow for a secure and tidy weld to your existing front chassis.
- Full Mounting Kit: Includes all essential brackets for the fuel tank, suspension, and rear body tub.
- Corrosion Ready: Supplied in a storage-stable finish, ready for professional welding followed by your choice of galvanising, paint, or underbody protection.
Technical Specifications:
- Compatibility: Land Rover Defender 90 and 110.
- Era Support: Covers all models from 1983 through to 2016.
- Material: High-Strength Mild Steel.
Installation Note: This is a major structural component that requires professional welding and alignment. We recommend that the chassis is measured and jigged during the installation process to ensure the vehicle remains perfectly straight and that the wheelbase measurements stay within factory tolerances.
