Weekly: The importance of a new galvanized chassis.
The frame is the most crucial part of any vehicle. Holding all components together and ensuring a smooth and straight ride. A messed-up frame can be catastrophic in an accident, and could be the difference between a life saved and a life lost. So, why are frames some of the most common points of rust and wear on any vehicle, especially old Land Rovers?
Well, simply put, your frame is on the front line between the elements and your vehicle. Mud, salt, dirt, and water all hit the frame while you’re driving and seep into the crevices on your undercarriage. Over time, this can cause moisture and damage that leads to rust. Working slowly at first, but building up exponentially, rust can chew through integral frame points if not properly cared for. Farm trucks and off-road vehicles, like most Land Rovers, can be some of the worst cases of this automotive affliction.
