How is it possible to built a frame without two parallel frame rails? The only vehicle i know which has a frame without two frame rails would be the pinzgauer with it's single tubular frame concept??

The p38? The chassis is last of your worries if you have a p38.

Hi again,

@Dobbs

This is one of my biggest issues with this "wolf" Defender: How to make shure the frame is really diffrent?

IF the dimensions are the same and the number of crossmembers as well, it's getting difficult because i do not want to saw a chassis in good condition in half.

Stronger diffs would be a big plus too by the way but the chassis is the most important part for me, because it is not only stronger but if it uses thicker material it will also need much longer to rust completely trough.

@Boris

This would be awesome! As i mentioned above my latest information about the standart civil frame is, that the dimensions of the two frame rails are 185x80mm between the axles (in the middle) which means the Defender rails are the biggest in its class (both Mercedes G-wagon and Toyota Land Cruiser are far smaller, 155x75 and 145x55). But the problem is that the Defender (as far as i know, correct me if i am wrong!) also got the thinnest Material , only 2mm (while the G-wagon uses 3mm and the Land Cruiser 3.5 to 4mm). All in all, the frame is as durable and stiff as the other two designs, as long as we are talking bending and shocks, but when it comes to rust, thicker steel is always the best. (still the g-wagon will be more rust-resistant than the landy cruiser because the toyota lacks proper conservation)

IF the Wolf frame uses thicker material, like 2.5 or evene better, 3mm, it would be the most durable AND probably as rust resistant, making it the best avilable option.
