We need to now more about your truck. put a pic up or tell us some more details . Like what size of tyres and make do you have . Manily because the rules on tyres change from state to state in Aus .
As you said you did winch challenges
Do you have lockers , Maxi drive shafts , Winch front or rear , roll cage 36" tyres . as i said what is the spec on your truck

This was my winch challenge 90

And this was my 90 that i imported into Australia

If they are of a reasonable size you should be ok.

Mine came over on 255/85 r16s on modular steels and that caused no issue.

If you send it over on 35 extremes or similar you may get problems

Ahh they are 35" . Not too big then . QLD i think has a limit of 42"
Do you have streghten shafts for those tyres. as they are pretty good at blowing landy half shafts. well my 35" simex extreme treckers were :)

Ali, I dont believe you can get tyres engineered at all in Qld?

The cage should be fine, as long as its done properly, as there is a mod code for that.

It will need to be engineered though.

mmm don't really know much about max tyres sizes in Qld
Although i do know you don't need those size of tyres to tour around Aus . More of a pain than an advantage .

Check Transport Queensland's web site. It is quite specific about permitted tyre and wheel sizes and offsets. You probably need to look under "modifications".

Here are the rules:
http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/reso..._vehicles2.pdf

as it says on p 18, an increase in diameter of +15mm over standard is the maximum allowed. It is not possible to engineer a vehicle for a larger size tyre than that in QLD.

Technically the conversion to a 300Tdi will need a modification plate (engineering approval).

If an external cage, just call it a ladder rack and it doesn't need a mod plate. A roll cage does, and you may need some sort of documentation from whoever made it.
