XSEPC have had pre rego GVM upgrade for some time. More 4x4 seem to be offering 450kg moire on the GVM. It is nice to have more choices.

I thought SLRV GVM upgrade was Queensland only?

It is, but there was discussion to add other states and they told me NSW was close (but then it went quite). Also JRACE Industries also claim to have ADR approval, pre and post rego, but post rego is only for Qld, NSW and Vic.

I look at such claims more as marketing claims. I am more interested in choice than who was first.

A local guy in WA inquired about the GVM upgrade and EXP said that they had to fit the springs for them to give you the plate. We have about a dozen or more owners with the same suspension fitted, be interested to see if locally we can get someone to plate our vehicles.

The main issue seems to be getting the engineer to sign off. That was the issue with XHQ.

There wasn't much in the conversation unfortunately.

The problem I had with XHQ was a NSW based engineer to sign off (the one they used moved to Qld from Northern NSW).

JMACX is also now working on an ADR approved GVM upgrade. It will take some time based on the little they said in a video.

Just requiring clarification on this, there is only one pre rego gvm upgrade with lift included in nsw? And that is xhq?

Look at this thread, under the heading SUSPENSION - GVM UPGRADE AU. Short answer there is more than one option, but it depends on the state.

Expedition HQ kit is not a Federal Type Approval (commonly known as a Pre Rego approval or SSM) as such requires state certification in QLD or NSW. I can confirm the only Pre Rego kit approved in Australia for the Grenadier/Quartermaster is the JRace Industries 4000kg Kit which is available through JRace in QLD or More 4x4 in NSW, installed Pre or Post registration.
The JRace Kit is a GVM Upgrade and allows any lift to be installed afterwards. Please remember if your vehicle is being modified prior to first being registered it must be done so under a Federal Type Approval.

Expedition HQ (or part of the Group) are an SSM. I was told this by one of the owners. The Group needs to be to register the massive SLRV expedition vehicles they make. They also have a specific version of the Grenadier called the the Grenadier XSpec, which I have seen on some government database previously. I cannot remember where now. Their GVM kit goes to 3,800kg, not sure if they offer higher GVM, it may under the XSpec label but that is all offline, not on the website.

SLRV Expedition vehicles and Expedition HQ I believe are business names, the company name is something different and that will likely be the named SSM. I have an Invoice in the company name.

If anyone wants a GVM upgrade do your checks before deciding, regardless of who you choose.

Type Approvals are public information and can be searched. They may hold or have held SSM approvals for other vehicles however they have never held or had access to an SSM for the Ineos Grenadier or Quartermaster. This has been confirmed directly by the certifier who holds their State Level Design Approval in QLD. Only two Pre Rego SSM Approvals exist for the Ineos, 1. The OEM Manufacturer and 2. JRace Industries.

If you are ever unsure if a Pre-Registration approval exists, ask for the VTA number this allows you to search the RVD and confirm the modification is approved. Anything outside of a VTA (Vehicle Type Approval) number is a post registration modification carried out under State Level Certifications and is not an SSM.

I have said what I was told. People should make their own inquiries.

Feel free to start a separate thread on GVM upgrades, not sure this is the thread for that.

I was under the impression a plated SSM GVM upgrade only allows the kit installed to be replaced with the same components when repaired because it is a federally tested and approved system. Adding a lift later on does this mean you can only use the JRace approved springs and shock absorbers to keep the vehicle legal?
