    With the exception of the body lift which I never really researched, I suspect that if it was engineered prior to the introduction of DOTARS NCOP that the rest of it may be sweet. 3" in the coils is within 1/3 suspension travel rules, and there is nothing that rules out 37" tyres within the regulations assuming he can get enough steering lock on it to turn the minimum radius required.
    Cheers

    You can still do portals into a Disco, just not specifically Maxidrive ones.

    Well, i just got a gold label 4wd action mag and it has a very good article about a HSE D2 update running 37" STT's. Has a 2" body lift and 3" spring lift. Does this D2 belong to anyone on here? It's one great looking rig
    what page I've got the mag cant see it

    Tyres are illegal in qld 16mm bigger than biggest tyre on factory specs is all you are allowed. 50mm of lift is all you are allowed unless you own a patrol as they do not have any specs listed hence you see so many that are running 4" plus lifts and 35" inch tyres. I know the tyre increase for fact as went to heaps of 4wd tyre specialists and nobody would fit bigger than 16mm over factory size as it was illegal.(mind you plenty said they sell them to me if i fitted and balanced them myself must be a legal loop hole for them that way.) Must be an awesome looking rig though.

    For new ones you can pick up Ford 9" with house portal boxs from Portal-tek in the US with full custom specs - expensive, but the dollar is good, Ford 9" with Hummer portal boxs from Dobbin engineering in Sydney - still expensive, After this there are grafted portals that you can do for a bit cheaper like Volvos if you can find a set. Unimogs are another very common one, though the front is often a problem as the diff is in the wrong spot, though some people engineer a drop swap. Mog's I have a contact for in Sydney who import these for $5-6K per set. A lot cheaper than $20K for the others!

    Then there is fitting of the axles on top.

    The "for off-road use only" clause.
