Have spoken with a few engineers today regarding engineering my Hilux for the following mods
Rears up front
IFS rears
Bobbed chassis
dual cases
replacement crossmember
50mm body lift
40mm drivetrain lift
IFS steering box
Crossover steering.
Has anyone had anything similar engineered down here? It's much easier to get someone who has signed this stuff off before than start from scratch.

I personally do not see anything on that list that has not been engineered on someone elses vehicle before in NSW, VIC is not all that different to down here from what i understand.
Rears up front - only moves the diff slightly
IFS rears - again only moves the diff slightly and only requires the moving of shackle mount
Bobbed chassis - no cross member removal, just excess chassis
dual cases - 1 to 1 high range in both, would require placard visible to driver stating "for on road use, high range only"
replacement crossmember - has been done before, may require replacement of factory cross member as well as additional to support second case
50mm body lift - steel or alloy blocks with high tensile bolts
40mm drivetrain lift - off the shelf kit
IFS steering box - has been done before, also have staff qualified to do this mod
Crossover steering - will have drag link tested if i need to

Luxyboy is from QLD and in QLD they are a bit stricter on what u can and cant do..
Just my 2 cents worth...
By the way - by moving the shackle mount for the rears i take it you are using the standard length shackle? What sort of flex do u get from this rather than an extended shackle?

I'm nearly getting all the same as you but 35's as well and seats and cheezy said provided it was all done professionally. 
Lockers or Knockers ,both will make for fun.
