Are you legally allowed to weld barwork to your chassis, for example sliders and tube tray (QLD).
I was of the belief that anything attached to a chassis has to be bolted, but this is coming from a truck body building background.
Yet i see lots of trucks with the exo/tray/rear bar/sliders welded straight to the chassis (suitably reinforced, obviously).

Does anyone know the rules in regard to this?

yep youv got it right not legaly allowed to weld to chassie all must bolt on yes all alot of ppl do weld to the chassie but is illegal. I went out and forked out the cash 60 bucks to get the qland tranport mod gid lines book or you can print it off there site.

weld crush tube inside the chassis and bolt through it with plates each side - itll be strong as and you can replace it easily if you smash the bar work.

wasnt there a massive thread on this days ago?

I thought there was too, but did a search, and had a scroll but couldn't find it. Got a linky?

here is the link to the other thread..
