I recently thought that I would put my GU Patrol on a weighbridge to see how much extra weight all extras that I have added to has caused. It tipped the scales at 2.8 tonne unladen, but with 2 full tanks of fuel. Considering that the GVM on these rigs are just over 3t, that doesn't leave me with much room to put gear (or people) legally.

Does anyone know of a way that I can increase the GVM of the vehicle and what it costs to do so? I believe that maybe an engineering certificate may be needed? I am not looking for a lot of extra weight, just enough so the insurance company doesn't have an excuse to say 'no' if I crash it. Does anybody know of people that do this. I am located in the S.E. suburbs of Melbourne
