There are some things that´ll never need improving. The chassis is one of them. Immensely strong it is probably the single most important component in Defender´s design architecture and contributes to the vehicle´s strength, versatility, durability and capability. The box section, ladder frame design is far stronger than an open channel design and more adaptable than the unibody designs of many of Defender´s competitors. Equally, Defender´s lightweight aluminium body is tough, with a no-nonsense, functional simplicity and a slab-sided profile that makes it all the more adaptable and enhances configurability.
