Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

That link isnt valid?

bru is the guy to talk too about ICV he is currently building an ICV buggy.

I don't believe you can just modify a vehicle to suddenly make it an ICV and magically get past modification laws. I think it needs to be beasically an Individually Constructed Vehicle (ICV) soething pretty much started from scratch or a kit vehicle

Thats why i was querying a cab cut being classed as an icv.

i casn not find much other information on ICV's other than what is on the qld gov website.

Cheers, Dean.

A mate at work recently went though all the hoops to try and get a Eureka (fibreglass body on VW chassis) registered, tried every way of doing it for a year but kept having red tape thrown at him no matter what he did. In the end he had to give up and get it on the road with restrictive club plates. Ie getting ICV's etc is not as easy as it sounds.

That sounds strange, unless he was doing something out of the ordinary with it, they are everywhere and there are plenty registered already

For the money its going to cost me to get it legal, i might as well just put the truck back to standard and buy a bigger boat so i dont have to keep stealing the old mans haha.

I can modify basically anything i want on my boat without so much as a blink from the authorities. So long as it is registered they dont seem to care what gets done.

Cheers, Dean

HaHa you've been beat to it, evidently you didnt read the other topic mate.

I cant delete the topics, thats up to the moderator.

Gee its like this forum is full of primary school kids, and people that arent happy unless they winge.

Dont know why i bothered posting on this site.

Grow up, Mate.

Cheers, Dean.

They sure are arent they?

Wish i could talk the missus into moving to VIC, but thats never gonna happen. Oh well, after 4wd Action shoot ill look into putting the truck back to standard.

Now that im going to start doing some towing when i start building my comp truck, i cant have the chance of having insurance wiped for illegal mods to truck.

Cheers, Dean.

it's because its better to have all the relevant info in one spot so other people can easily find it to either ad more info or get benefit from the info.

Im not arguing this point, In the other topic i stated that i put it in nissan, then though that its not really nissan specific, i wanted to know of any brand that someone had registered as ICV so i posted this in general.

But i cannot delete the other topic as im not a moderator.

Mods can delete both of these topics if they want, ive got more than enough info now.

You've acknowledged yourself that posting it in Nissan was a mistake. You've been called on that mistake.

Yes, "the call" was not necessary, but so what? Your response to the call demonstrates a similar lack of maturity.

Rubbish. You know exactly why you posted on this site, as do most regular OL members. Get over the criticism (such as it was) and exploit this site for all it's worth.

Mate, I can post on Patrol4x4 site, and get helpful answers, and relative answers, with no 12yr old nonsense.

Thats why i dont know why i bothered posting on this site.

I got the info i needed off patrol4x4 forum so mods can delete the 2 topics.

Cheers, Dean.

well what did you find out? Is there any chance of beig able to do what you want?

What about perhaps going down the route of using a Rhino Buggies Hummer kit?

How fawkin touchy are you, princess? The smiling face with the fingers surely denotes sarcasm and the fact that I was having a dig. If you can't cop a little bit of flack, then pick up your skirt and skip off into the distance. This is OuterLimits, not nappy training for Patrol drivers

Did you notice the smiling face with the fingers that time, champ?

grimbo wrote:well what did you find out? Is there any chance of beig able to do what you want?

This is about my only option.

But i think for the $$$ im going to buy something better on fuel to get to work, and build a trailer queen to play a bit more serious in the bush.

Good 'ol QLD modification rules.

Cheers, Dean.

While im not apologising for my remarks earlier , I havnt had a real good day today. So yes i can cop a bit of flak, but not today evidently. Dont take my tantrum to heart
