The 6X6
SA4x4|July 2019

For some customers, the perfect 4x4 is not enough. Pon Steyn Motors has the answer for these clients: a genuine six-wheel drive.

The 6X6

These 6x6 Land Rover creations start out like other projects with a donor vehicle that is stripped, stretched, and re-engineered.

In this example, a 110inch Defender chassis was stretched by 1050mm by welding in a second rearchassis section from another donor 110, and reinforcing the result with an additional cross member. New dropdown links and upper link ball joints were added, along with the upgraded coils and shocks.
