hey people my mate just got a yellow licky on his paj for bald tyres no numberplate and oil leaks. there are a couple or other things but the cops didnt pick up wich will need fixed.

Now my question is will it make it though pits with a 2inch body lift an 33's. he is currently running 31's with no tread (hence the licky) but was planning on getting copers sst's this weekend anyway. we have also removed the rear section of his exhaust they shouldnt worrie too much about that should they. i realise it comes down to the bloke on the day but in genneral how should he go

Watch out for excess noise for the exhaust bit.

lift + tyres. depends on copper but 2" BL should be fine, 33's maybe, whats std on it? make sure at least the tyres are covered. maybe borrow some for the day?

asking for it with no plate and baldies.

Why not fix the car, so it is legal, and you will have no problems?

there is nothing wrong with it really a couple of oil leaks.(show me a 4b over 4 years old with out one) and bald tryes and he was getting them fitted this weekend or begining of next week. the plate has been missing about 2 weeks. its hasent been cirtified with the body lift coz we did it our selfs and he brought it with the suspension done. just curious if he will be pulled up on the body lift

cheers mate thats the sort of thing i was after. do they enforce this rule heavily, or is it just there to fill the pages.

Have heard its like how long is a piece of string.

You may get through but u may not. better leavin the BL in and dropping the sus lift out and running std size tyres if you have to.

i got my patrol over with 33"s and body lift, had to drop the body lift down from 3" to 2" tho. the springs at the time were very saggy so the vehicle didn't look particuly unusal with the body lift.

Didn't loose the number plates out in kwinana did you? seen a plate out there bout a week ago in a bog hole.
