United Kingdom 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black
110 body off
Hello
New on here guys...back to defender ownership after a long absence.

Bought a 2007 110xs with a pretty rusty chassis. Not rotten just been in the north of Scotland too long!

Going to do the job right and get the body off to get the chassis blasted and either painted or galavanized.

Any advice in taking the body off?

Any threads on here for it?

Cheers!!!

Welcome to the forum matey!

Got any photos of the Landy?

If you use the search function at the top you should be able to find something.. Although I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon to give you some pointers of removing the body Thumbs Up

Assuming it is a 5 door, you may well need to brace the body with some timber when lifting to avoid any flex.

Plus if the chassis is rusty, might as well have a good poke around on the bulkhead whilst you have easy access. Just in case!

Cheers Guys

Probably could get it blasted/repainted with the body on but want to do the job right the first time round!!

Done a chassis swap over about 18months ago, fairly easy once you know where all the bolts are and they come undone !

I hired builders 'trestle' tables, some heavy gauge scaffold pole, this was placed through rear wheel arch after jacking the back up and then lowering onto the pole. For the front, I then used a ratchet straps to lift the bulkhead up from its mounting points on chassis - the pictures in the gallery will show how it looks !

Just remember to lift high enough to allow chassis to roll out....
