Would you buy an ex-Govt GU?

[BillsGU]

I've only had my GU for about 4 months, and it wasn't until a recent off-road/camping tour that it sorta hit me. There's alot bolted onto my ol' girl and I am concerned about being over the GVM. I'll need to take a closer look this weekend underneath and find out whether it has had the GVM upgrade, any idea what I should be looking for? As far as I'm aware it would be tower braces etc?

If it has been done properly it would be engineered and you would have a plaque on the fire wall or in the drivers door B pillar. You would look for tower braces, diff bracing, rated springs and shocks (the only one who rates and stamps them that I know of are Lovells), LPV bracket, offset caster bushes, among other things. You would also have a GVM of 3495 kg on your rego papers.
