What to look for in a lifted vehicle...

Good to know. Rang RACQ yesterday and they said insuring a Patrol with 2" lift and 33's should be fine. Good news. Put the deposit down yesterday, Whoop Whoop! Hopefully pick it up next week!

Technically 33's are illegal. As the max is 15mm diameter over placaded tyre size. on a GQ in QLD 32" is the maximum legal size. I say technically 'cos I think no-one in recorded history has ever been pinched for having 33's alone unless they were caught doing something stupid first.

VSB15 is penciled to go through in QLD also which allows for 33's legally (up to 50mm increase for tyres specifically) so there is a 'leniency' period on at the moment - 35's however are penciled in as fully illegal in the same document ... only know this as I got pulled up a few weeks back and this was a lengthy part of the conversation with the young law compliance person who spoke with me (who was doing his best to prove he knew every current and upcoming mod regulation in the book - spoke to me about flares, tyre size, steering wheel, turbo, lift, lights, etc ... quality 20 minutes of my life!!). lol

Ouch, hope you didn't get stickered...
Good to hear about the 33's though, means I don't have to worry about downgrading when I wear these ones out.

Revs is gone
They have this new rip off scheme in it's place wich is useless.

By that do you mean the PPSR (Personal property securities register) ?
It costs < $4 which covers you for a 'session' which, until I have a need to pay again and test it, sounds like you can do more than one search on that payment while you have that browser session opened.
I strongly suggest doing it as I nearly bought a GU with a repairable write off on it's history within the last month.

All done, came up clean thankfully.
