    Queensland Transport June 16th

    Here's an interesting piece of info i just stumbled across

    Vehicle standards instructions (Department of Transport and Main Roads)

    bottom PDF file under light vehicles

    I wonder if they will start targeting perentie's a bit more??

    Umm, and they have a picture of a G Wagon

    WA and SA.....although a bit hit and miss are targeting some areas.

    I did bring these type of things a few years ago after talking with a Mod Plate inspector/certifier where he pointed out non-compliances.

    Despite some of the terrible spelling and grammar in those documents the take home items that come up regularly on AULRO specifically for Qld are:

    lightbars at roof line are okay (if in front half of vehicle)
    lightbars on top rail of bullbar are not okay

    non engineered suspension/tyre/wheel lift to 75mm is okay
    body lift not okay

    engine mods dont require a gas test but any previously fitted exhaust/ cats/ DPF should be refitted or similar fitted to new engine.
    This one needs a bit more research, perhaps they have loosened requirements on things like an LS into a defender type mods????

    anyway thanks Trigger for the link

    I think it'll just come down to.

    1. don't get a bad rep in the town you live in, via driving style etc

    2. will probably come down to the cops mood on the day

    I used to own a Jeep in another town and people used to get pinged for mods like tyres and lifts etc but also used to drive them like sports cars and been a dick in general.
    The only thing i ever got pinged for was a defect for not having mudflaps due to out driving around on the "hoon night"
    considering id never had the flaps on for about 6 months due to tearing them off while offroad (multiple times) and cops previously never seemed bothered.
