Ok looked a little closer, here’s some notes on the BIW shots. I think there’s a lot of good actually, based on some assumptions.

A - fuel pump access in-car, no dropping fuel tank on trail
B - if their CAD shot is accurate, they left the arches in front completely open, covered only by fender and trim
C - rear structure is just crash cans bolted on, pretty standard to make cars repairable after rear end collisions. Speaks well for rear armor options
D - front structure appears to be located high up, easier to see on side shot below. Could be designed specifically to allow lower facia replacement
E - likely wiring pass through for E-diff harness
F - looks like headliner provisions for ADAS like emergency braking, coward collision warning, advanced cruise control, etc

A - open fenders for oversized wheels/long travel
B - concerning structure where one would normally like approach angle/armor
C - open space for rear armor options
D - likely using subframes for suspensions, which opens up a lot of options for lifts (body lift)
E - they’re showing factory skid plates
