    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much weight can a GVM upgrade add?

    Will a GVM upgrade affect my warranty?

    Pre-registration upgrades typically maintain manufacturer warranties. Post-registration modifications may impact warranty coverage – we’ll discuss implications during consultation.

    How long does a GVM upgrade take?

    Standard upgrades typically require 1-2 days in our Mulgrave workshop. Complex modifications or fleet vehicles may require additional time.

    Yes, when performed by certified installers like Hawkesbury Offroad Centre and properly documented. All our upgrades include the necessary certification for NSW registration.

    Can you upgrade the suspension without changing GVM?
