Dualcab GU registered as an ICV?
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 11:06 am
Hi guys, Just wondering if someone with a bit more knowledge than me could answer some questions?
Has anyone registered a Dualcab Chopped patrol as an ICV? As it seems an ICV can have bigger tyres and a reasonable lift written up as standard fitment?
Therefore making say a 5" Lift and 35's legal.
ICVs built with
production vehicle body
shells
A monocoque body shell from a production passenger car (MA category)
will not be considered as the basis for an ICV unless:
· the body is fitted to a separate chassis resulting in a change of
category to MC or NA - for example, a Holden Commodore station
wagon body fitted to a Toyota Landcruiser chassis and suspension,
or
· the body is substantially modified so that it no longer is recognisable
as the original vehicle or a production variant – for example, a four
door sedan cut into a two door utility.
The 2nd point, four door sedan cut into a ute, would this count also on a 4 door wagon cut into a 4 door ute? It was never released in a dualcab ute, so it could possibly be engineered as an ICV yes?
Therefore my 5" Lift and 35's become standard fitment?
Ive read through the the data on QLD Transport about ICV's and i cant see anywhere that it says i cant do this?
Only thing itll do is possibly make my insurance more expensive, but im used to that, HSV when i was 18 cost over $2500 a year to insure.
Any info from anyone would be great, Do we have any engineers on this forum?
Cheers, Dean.
