Look up your road authorities website, it should list some names and numbers of authorised people. Thats how it works in Vic anyway.

so did you speak with anyone before you started to firstly find out if you can do it and if so what need to be done to make sure it complies?
Or have you just done it and are now hoping that someone will sign it off because generally engineers wont sign off work they have not seen during the process nor on stuff already completed.

But good luck

great to see someone doing the right thing with their buildup. Can't your engineer sign it off or point you in the right direction?

Hope it goes smoothly

Why haven't you asked this Engineer to sign off on it if you have already discussed the mod and done it as suggested?

You cut the entire back of the cab off!! What the FCUK is stopping you from doing a virtual lift???

Surely that is easier than SPOA??

Cut Cut CUT! I'm going for 34" swampers next SPUA, granted I've got a 2" body lift and a lowered 5" lift kit but I've barely touched my gaurds and have not done a proper virtual lift and I'm confident it'll fit.
