    In a sense your right mate, we can mod our rigs to what ever we like to a certain extent as long as you can get a engineers cert to say it's safe.

    Yeah, very relaxed in Tassie aswell. Can let a lot slip through. And once it is registered, there's no yearly pit pass etc. Just keep paying the rego and your fine.

    I managed to get a couple of snippets of the bullbar in progress being built at the moment, it's going to be pushing over trees in no time lol so far the the uprights out of the chassis is fitted with the winch cradle, now designing the plate work to spread out from there. Once complete she will get a sand blast and painted black. completion might be a month away yet but worth the wait I reckon.
