THIS BUSINESS HAS CHANGED.
The bureaucrats in Canberra have adopted new rules for vehicle categories that prohibit increasing the GVM ofnew utes beyond 3.5 tonne. And the main reason for converting to Six Wheeler is to increase payload. So any vehicle modifier who now does this leaves himself liable. We have become victims of rules that were made for a completely different purpose.
So we now can only certify the six wheeler to a GVM of 3,500kgs. This mostly only affects Landcruiser and Patrol.
Even Ford Motor Company got caught by this one. F250 & F350 have been withdrawn from the Australian market because of this new rule. For those of you with existing Six Wheeler vehicles, they will remain legal. And parts will continue to be available on the old phone number.
Your Six Wheeler is now a collectable. |
