All,

I took my 90 out to the local pay n play this weekend after some long awaited rain. As a beginner i shortly found myself in the deep mud and had to be pulled out. I knew my landy was tough but I am so proud and happy with her. Once I checked the oil to make sure she was good I started her right up. Just wanted to share. Ok, here is the start of my question, I know I will need a new chassis as my plans are to take my landy (Jabba) back to the states in three years (oh yea, I am a yank) and I wont have the option when I get back there. My main question is do the built galvanised chassis from Marshland or Richards have the same quality as the factory chassis? Do they have the steel sleves for the bumper and PAS box to distribute the weight/load. Is there any major modification needed to make suspension or body fit properly? I know I could ring the company but I wanted the word on the street from people that have them fitted. As always thank you for your help. and hope to see you in the muck.

check your rad if youve got mud anywhere near it,galv chassis at least the ones ive bought from the leading companies have been well built and are heavy duty so stronger than original chassis
 
After market chassis(not designa though) are not bad having a slightly thicker outside skin though they are probably no stronger than genuine due to the lack of double skined sections.
 
Thanks for the advice, I probably dont realy need a new chassis as mine is very solid. I do however have OCD when it comes to the unknown condition of the chassis from the inside. The galvanised chassis will give me peace of mind that the inside looks like the outside. Once the Land is back in the states it will be almost impossible to get another chassis so I am going to change it while I am in the UK.

Thanks again
Doug
 
richardsons are best a bit of a wating time but built a few and there very good chassis no probs at all with things lining up etc
