    Hmmm I asked about engineering. He said


    The car hasn't officially been engineered but we have done all the work to it to prepare it for that - like the cross bracing on the chassis etc.
    I understand that some new rules have come in recently and we have a spare (very restrictive) exhaust system that can be fitted and smaller wheels that remain within the guards to get around any other remaining engineering issues. So, at the end of the day, we have everything you need to get it done, we just haven't had a need to actually do it ourselves yet.

    Ok ...

    Everyone has been comparing this to the value of what a Rangie is worth ... BUT when you read the specs on what's been done to it ... You may come to the conclusion that it is NOT a Rangie ... But a Full Fruited Go anywhere transport ... in a Rangie body

    And that is what you are buying .... A Fun machine // Monster Truck

    Whatever he's selling it for, this thread has been a great read. His eBay replies crack me up!

    If it is so easy to get an engineers certificate, why hasn't he done it. It would certainly increase the price he will get for it. Maybe he has tried and that is why he is selling it.

    So he charges people many 100s of dollars to take them on a 4wd trip yet he hasn't seen the need to get it engineered?

    So the vehicle is unroadworthy. I'm sure his public liability insurer would love that

    Legality

    So in other words its illegal to drive on the road. Obviously he has a mate to do the road worthy,s for it. gee thats a good selling point. Cost me $800 to have my rangie engineered and will be getting the brake upgrades added shortly. Every year for the road worthy the inspector checks the list of PASSED mods. I think this bloke needs to change hands
