Interesting. For those that might not have seen it...
July 2020: Our Land Rover bodies are now in production! Contact us for more information at info@aqualu.com or 1-888-765-6714
We’ve had a great response to our new aluminum LAND ROVER'S! Here are just a few things to go over to help answer some of the questions that have been coming in.
We are currently working through the R & D on two prototype bodies. This first body was based off the Land Rover series 2 body style, however once in production we will be modeling them after the Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 series. We plan to offer the Defender 90 in a 2 door and the Defender 110 in a 4 door version.
The body, bulkhead and cowl will be a solid one piece unit and will NOT be made to accept the original components. We plan to offer the body, fenders, grill, windshield frame, half doors and a storage tailgate. The accessories we will be offering will NOT work on the stock bodies. We will NOT be offering replacement panels for the original bodies, only a complete replacement body.
The aluminum Land Rover bodies will be approximately 3x thicker than the original bodies and therefore will be significantly stronger. The bodies will be made from the same material that we use in our Jeep, Land Cruiser and Samurai bodies (.156 or 5/32" thick) 5052 aluminum alloy. We have been producing aluminum replacement bodies and accessories for 30 years and are very confident in the strength and durability of our products.
The R & D has been going smoothly and we are eager to start production! More details will be released as they become available. We are looking to have the 4 door Defender 110 assembled by next weekend. In the meantime, please like and share! Help us to spread the word to the Land Rover community that we are HERE!
