Done a search cant find much info.
What do people know about these? They seem to like them on pirate what i could find. Anyone know what sort of money they sell for here in Australia?
Also how strong are they compared too say GU diffs?
Looked at some in Germany they are about 3500euros.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Would you actually get them engineered in Qld?

interesting question and i'm sure you would never get a definitive answer from the goons at DOT.

In theory, since they're a complete assembly from an existing vehicle that is well and truly in excess of the GVM of the vehicle being grafted to i can't see why not. As long as ADR's covering the wheel being covered and mudflaps where adhered to, and the braking system was comparable to the original or better it SHOULD be kosher.

But then this IS the queensland DOT we are talking about here

Have not thought about rego was more thinking of a buggy down the track. Just doing a bit of research at the moment. We may have a container comeing from Germany later in the year. Was thinking about seeing if I could chuck some in. Mite even look at getting some extras if its worth while to on sell over here.But Bogged you got me thinking now :idea: :D
