Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well not actually me........ My cousin has a GQ wagon with 4" spring lift (no BL), all 4wd shop bought (ie kit type, superior and snake etc) extended control arms, castor correction plates, strengthened steering links etc etc etc and 35" simex's.

He also has custom 4" barwork all round, cut rear qtr panels, and repainted in commodore hot house green!! Sweet Truck.

Question is: Can this be engineered in QLD??? and where should he go (any patrol specific engineers??) He is looking to sell the vehicle at the redlands 4x4 show this month and wants to get it all legit before listing.

Anyone interested PM me for pics and info. i will post in For sale section when completely finisehed or see at the show.

as far as i know it can be certifided:) and probly worth $$$$$ to get it done as well:)

but in the state of QLD it cant be driven on roads???? because of the lift and tyres cops pull ya up first chance they get they also go over it with a fine tooth comb to get ya on anything else they can just to make it that little bit harder for you

please people correct me if im worng :)matt

damn it, i have to agree with bogged........

its a big no, dont you read this forum??

Ring DOT..... You may need to drop all the modds off, and then get each bit assessed and approved. One thing will be the replacement suspension parts (panhards, etc), unless they are engineered and approved for fitment by DOT, forget it.

The second problem will be proving the 1/3rd bump stop rule.

The only way to sell it legally with rego would be with a Safety Certificate. Ask around and see if someone will give a RWC for it, then sell it. Or sell wthout rego, and the buyers deals with it.....

I could supply some stock springs and tyres cheap - then he can sell it.



You're better off trying to find a wood-duck to buy it.

I now live in QLD (just) and kept the car registered to NSW cause of the SOA. No probs so far

I just decided to stay in NSW as well for my rego, GQ with 7" coils, 2" BL, 35s etc and the cops up here actually have given me the thumbs up twice.

I will be at the Redlands show this month too, so get along and support Kidney Australia.
