    That would explain why they drafted new vsi50 on the 10th.

    This is all about stopping 4wheel drives driving through the pristine bush, and is brought about by the bloody greenies, who in turn were voted in because the Australian public were sick of Howard, wanted a change but didn't want to vote labor.
    Bob Brown will introduce probate and he is behind the carbon tax, this is why Gillard can't back off.
    Now it looks like krud will be back and heaven help us.
    Can't wait for the next election and I hope the Libs can find someone with a large scrotum.!!

    It's my opinion that the Pedestian Council are only concerned about bull bars, they don't even know or understand what a suspension lift or 35 inch tyres means, let alone body lifts and wide tyres.This is all brought about by the powers that be, wanting to have control, extract the money and ban anything that may give the average Australian a weekend away and a little bit of pleasure.
    After all, the average bloke wants to get out into the bush or countryside and flex a bit of what he has set up with his or her 4by, but no, this is bad, someone may run over a wildflower or an endangered species.
    This is Australia fer cry sakes.

    Ok, I understand this thread is quite political in nature & as this is something that can greatly effect us all, I am allowing some latitude here. But can we PLEASE keep to a minimum as we don't normally allow politics being discussed on the forum.


    Regards
    Paul

    If this is passed then we are all screwed.

    So if that is the case then we will have to undertake other drastic mesures to gain more free air under our 4b's. A lot of 4b's have a lot of equipment slung low under the height of the sill on the body, like the chassis rails and stuff attached to the chassis rails like gearbox x-members ect all hang under the height of the sills of the body.

    The mesurment is taken from the centre of the axle to the top of the guard {trim height} to work out the ride height. So I propose this fix to get extra clearence under the 4b. Lower the body over the chassis by recessing it or it's mounts into the floor of the car. This will get all the gear you get hung up on higher than the sill of the body and lower the mesurment of the hub centre to top of guard as the body has been dropped. If you do this by 2 inches then you'll be able to get a 4 inch springf lift and gain 6 inches of clearence.

    Considering you won't be able 2 have anything more than pretty much a 2inch lift without joining a 4wd club, then I believe it will be a lot tougher then the current NSW RTA Regs that are currently in place....... and forget a 6inch lift, won't happen even if it gets engineered.

    Yes the VSI-50 is back on the agenda and is likely 2 be implemented within the next month, from what i was told nothing on the current VSI-50 is set in concrete and can be changed.

    Will be getting more info hopefully 2morrow.
