Pre-rego or post-rego?
Pre-registration
Fitted before first registration under the federal approval. Your vehicle is recognised Australia-wide for life, and it is usually the simplest and cheapest path if you are buying new.
Post-registration
For vehicles already on the road. An approved signatory certifies the upgrade under NSW rules and your rego is updated. Further charges for state based engineering may apply, and the vehicle may need re-certifying if it moves interstate.
Why Project Overlander
Trusted GVM facility
We fit Dobinsons GVM upgrades in-house at our Smeaton Grange workshop – fitted by our own technicians, not sub-contracted.
Paperwork handled
We organise the compliance plate, certification and rego update, whether your vehicle is new or already on the road.
Build it once
Combine your GVM upgrade with trays, canopies, drawers, long range tanks and 12V from the same workshop, so the whole build is planned around your new payload.
HiLux GVM FAQs
My HiLux is a 2019 model. What can I get?
2015 to 10/2024 HiLux 4x4s upgrade to 3,500 kg. Models built from 10/2024 get the full 3,520 kg rating.
Can it be done pre-registration?
Dobinsons lists pre- and post-registration approval for 10/2024-on models. Older vehicles are already registered, so they are done post-rego, where further charges for state based engineering may apply.
What does the price include?
Prices include GST and cover the Dobinsons kit supplied and fitted by an authorised Dobinsons GVM fitter at our Smeaton Grange workshop. Further charges for state based engineering may apply, and load rated wheels and tyres are extra where a kit requires them.
