Just got home to a nice registered letter regarding my hilux. some whiner has complained it is to high (its lifted 2"!) wheels are to big (its got 31's atm!) and it has no mud flaps, (Thats true!), just wanted to know if anyone here from tas or wherever has been running without big daggy mud flaps??? is this illegal at all?????
Whell thats my rant for the day. I just had off get that off my chest!
Cheers, Joe.

This has been discussed a few times - mud flaps are required by ADRs AFAIK.

and you can tell the tossa to get stuffed about the suspension and tyres
