I know that Pete Antunac's rig is regisered as heavy machinery with a max 40Km speed limit, I have being led to beleive that Matts is FULLY ROAD REGISTERED, but maybe it is some kind of agricultural rego to?
Sorry to dissapoint you but I know that you are wrong. Petes is registered and fully engineered as a landcruiser, all the rumours of it being regoed as a tractor or heavy machine are BS. It is even engineered with the rear steer as long as it is locked for on road use.

I am not saying that it is 100% street legal as its not but not many cars that are comp used are, but it is definately regoed and engineered as a cruiser and nothing else.

And yes gonads is too, once again not 100% street legal in that photo but registered none the less.

I use about $50-$60/week in my 2.6 petrol Rodeo to do about 600km/week.

$25/week in your Cruiser LOL Do you work in the same suburb as you live?. I use more than that for a weekend of play!

And why Not ?

The vehicle isnt affected by the adr , (crumple)
It needs to be of the same strength , or stronger .

The things most people are winging about are only seen in the comps ,
Of couse there not eng with tires that size , but its not required for the comp . :roll:

Its all pretty simple build a project from a late model and suffer the late model adr rules ;)

I looked and couldn't find it under the name OFFROADPERFORMANCEW/HOUSE. Did Pete have a different username at any stage ?

*Take the 44" tyres off it, put on 38.5" Tyres
*Take the wide offset wheels off it, Put on regular offset.
*Put the flares & Mud Flaps Back on it.
*Lock-out the rear steer for on road use.
*discussions with the engineer over a period of 6 months while building it to ensure all will be sweet.
*Hydraulic steering has speed limited my truck to 90Km/h ( so what, ha)
*Pay your rego & insurance & your set.

Don't forget people, The way you see most vehicles at competitions are in an illegal way shape or form, But competitions allow these changes.
For example, rego'd with 36" tyres, But runs 38" in the event. or even 44". This is allowed.
Wheel spacers are used very often, But are so illegal, it's funny.

Hope that answers your quetsions.

Pete
You mean its not registered as a Tractor :finger:

for those that arent in "the know"..........

as posted in this thread there are ways n means of "getting around" various rulles be they comp rules or rego rules..... Very few ppl actually go the full distance and comply fully with ALL the rules of both lots.

Ever wonder how custom hot rods get away with some of the extream mods that they pull and yet we see these sweet cars crusing the streets and stare in awe......
Yet I cant recall Ford model T's coming out with twin blown 500 inch Hemis but they are on the streets and are registered and generally legit too !

makes ya wonder hey.....

A few of us are currently looking at forming an association for variety "bash cars"..... with a legit association we can rego the cars under a "club rego" and rego is far cheaper too I might add and as for RWC condition all one needs is letter from the Secretary stating that the car is in deed "safe for road use"......... this is how many hotrods get away with their rego even tho there's an uncovered thumpin big block grumpin away behind the radiator and the front wheels have no guards at all.

Form an "Offroad Competition Vehicle Association" and the world would be at your feet when it comes to what mods would be legal and useable on road...... just about anything goes ...... trust me !

Mind you ........
This is how it opperates in Vic anyway & I'm unsure of what other states have but would pay to check it out......
There are restrictions on "club rego'ed " vehicles like limited use, club days only, club businness only, sactioned club events, etc etc etc
But there's ways around that too ;)


Kingy

p/s
How many members rigs from this forum are 100% legit with their mods ????? I seriously doubt that 10% would be fully compliant !

Apparently people think I'm too patronising (that means I treat them like they’re stupid).

A guy I have met once only has his rig "club registered"....... its basically open slather for mods he wasnt to do to it...... he joked about dropping in a 12litre Merlin engine.... thing is "if he wanted to " he could under the club guidelines.

Your kewl @ surfin for stuff Bruce.... have a gander @ the Vicroads web site and look for special registrations, club registrations etc.....

I was ammazed at how may " legitimate clubs" there currently are in just Vic alone !
