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.

Good looking vehicle.

To return to the tyre thing,i was told that the mach5 wheels are illegal in Australia because of the offset.

Not sure about this obviously, but maybe somebody knows.

Cheers
Yeah it was in a few but total off road mag did a feature on it
