    Agree with the OP, easy to give the GVM a nudge.

    And the only way to really know is on a weigh bridge.

    But most put the head in the sand and don’t want to know.

    Plenty of 200’s getting stretched with GVM upgraded to 4500 and 4500 towing.

    I guess there is a big rush before the 300 arrived.
    Correct..I also understand that the mod industry is expecting that such up grades will be regulated more closely in future.

    Its pretty obvious the regulators have no idea what they are doing or how to regulate the industry.

    Even the rubbish the Qld govt came up with about 6 months ago turned into another great debacle.

    Oh well,lets see what happens next

    ORS list as below
    Yes, 26kg for an aluminium single drawer in a Defender vs 45kg for a double drawer in a Disco 3-4, a significant difference. My BIL has a Kings dual drawer steel set in his 80 which are also about 45kg.

    On GVM upgrades for 200s, I bought the latest 4 x 4 Australia which has a feature on two 200s turned into 6 x 6s and the GVM upgrades are massive.
    Interestingly, they took them both to NE Tassie and both vehicles broke their propshafts.

    Interesting story.

    Even McGovern or whatever his name is, said that about the new Defender.

    Dreaming isn't he.

    Just wait until ARB get hold of one

    Manufacturers need to stick with what they know,that is building and flogging vehicles.

    Leave the aftermarket guys to continue in the field they are professionals at,which will continue no matter what vehicle manufacturers try and do.

    Ute trays may need a look at if the don't comply.
