Say I mod up my jeep to the limit of the laws in NSW, so 75mm total lift etc. Perfectly legal in NSW, but not in QLD.
Could I then travel around Australia without fear of it being defected provided it is still registered in NSW, and I am living in NSW and I am only passing through QLD?

You will be fine. You could go crazy and they still most likely wouldnt do anything to you as its "not their problem"

A guy we do a heap of work for who has plenty of cars, Merc C63s, Lambo Merci, all registered in qld but driven in NSW all the time to avoid defect issues mainly hah

Awesome, So officers will only really care about cars registered in their state then. That is good to know :)

Rogisilva – you won’t have any problems in QLD. They mainly target twin cabs & carry a laminated check sheet for hilux, ranger, navara etc. Doubt they’d even have Jeep listed. They check your suspension height by measuring from the hub centre to guard/fender. Officer, it’s a two inch spring lift with Mopar fenders, honest.

How do you think would you go with Mopar steel stubby bumper bar in QLD?
Would this be considered unsafe for some reason?

As long as it is legal in the state that it is registered in you will have no problems.
it is possible that you will be pulled over but if they start the
process for unroadworthy then ask for them to either
confirm with their supervisor Or to get them to view the car.

I have traveled with NT legal cars that are far from legal
in every other state and never had an issue.
