SOME OUTS ARE

Its not the police you need to worry about. Try having an accident causing death/injury or even damage to another vehicle. Even if its not your fault you will still be at fault because your not road legal therefore unregistered.
A mate of mine went to put in a modification application the other day and got told about the new laws and was told no way it would be approved.

any modification that takes a vehicle from factory specs needs to be approved by transport tasmania and a modification plate issued.

That's the least of your worries - your insurance won't pay for the damage/injuries your 4x4 has caused to other vehicles/property - regardless of whether the mods were related to the accident.
