A CHASSIS TO FAR!!

Trumar · Monday at 18:36

Just thought I would let you all know I need to find somewhere or some body that can rebuild my truck!! I am not winning when it comes to my truck, i have gone a chassis to far and I have lost. Does anyone know of a place or person that would put my truck back on the road for me please. I’m not after my truck to look like it has come off the production line I just want it back on the road and no more, haha nearly forgot to ask does anyone know how much money roughly i will need?

Pics would help, and maybe an idea of what you are after?

Ie a total strip and rebuild or lift the body, swap the engine, gearbox, axels etc onto the new chassis using as far as possible, everything from the old chassis.

At a guess, a galv chassis is £3k and probably similar to do the job (at a professional garage/workshop with some form of guarantee as opposed to it being done by an enthusiast on their driveway)

A quick google found another company, they manufacture series chassis (if you've got £3k handy) and offer a fitting service clearly at extra cost.

I read elsewhere on here that a D3 chassis replacement would be over £10k, different kettle of fish maybe- but anyway deep pockets might be needed if you can't do it yourself...

What situation are you in exactly?
Have you started it and got stuck?
Have you got a chassis?
Have you decided you can't do it before you started it?

Appreciate you letting me know what company’s there is out there. I tried the Google search but was getting nothing just chassis companies but also I didn’t know they also offer a fitting service. I just want the truck on the road this year hopefully.

I didn’t realise that there is so many different places that do Land Rover series chassis swap. I thought I would be struggling to find somewhere to get my truck done. All I got to do is find someone near me as the truck is all in bits.

Maybe search for a mobile mechanic in your area - if they can't do it they may know someone local who can?
