Abstract: A vehicle frame system structure having one or more wholly or substantially vertical pillars, and one or more wholly or substantially horizontal inter-connected struts, wherein the bottom section of at least one of the vertical pillars is separable from the remaining section of that pillar is described. By having separable bottom sections, the bottom sections of such pillars, which are the sections of pillars which are most commonly damaged and need repair, can be quickly and easily replaced. The need for major surgery to the whole frame structure is therefore avoided.
