4WDs:
- You can no longer increase your tyre rolling diameter by more than 50mm on your everyday ride. So no more fitings a set of 35's to your patrol or landcruiser and if your lucky you may just be able to fit a set of 31's to your hilux navara triton or rodeo. How crazy's that.

- You will no longer be able to raise your vehicle cab more than 6" total, inclusive of that resulting from suspension lifts, body lifts and from larger tyres.

- To get a vehicle lift (like just mentioned) for more than 2" engineer certfied will set you back thousands with all the Woopsie testing that will have to be done on a closed circuit test track. From what I here it will need to be done on an unused air-strip, so you will be going somewhere like goulburn or somewhere in the sticks to do it & good luck getting an engineer to travel that far away to do it for you. This Woopsie will end up impossible to get done.

- Bye bye modified 4Wd's and the massive small business workshops and parts industries that it supports. Hello social security.

Mini-trucks:
- Well all ive got to say is do you remember VSI-50 ! Bye bye chassis notches, drop-spindle & fitting 20" wheels. Bye bye minitrucks and the massive small business workshop and parts industries that it supports. Hello social security.



I dont own or wont to own and i think some of the over sized tyres and wheels and jacked up 4x4's dont and should not be on road, i live in bush area and watch these fellas come out bush covered in mud every wet weekend there over sized rims catch a truck load of mud and that then sprays all over the car behind them

The business thats building them is most often then not back yard hacks

I only can see good thngs out of some of these changes,

Big V8's in small cars well.....................

I dont hate or not want to see it but 4x4's yes please, they dont look too safe and sure as hell are not safe for other folk about

My 2 cents

I personally don't mind if a 4b has a lift kit etc as i had one of them in my GQ/Maverick, it's just when the stabaliser bars are left off it becomes dangerous. BUT i feel that there should be a body size to height ratio. EG Suzuki Sierra's with a 6" lift is WAYYYYYY to dangerous, but a GQ etc should be able to.
The things like 20's and upwards well personal opinion should be outlawed - reason being that there is very little tyre on the road to absorb bumps and shock and may cause vehicle to steer into a dangerous position.

That's MY 2 cents worth.
