towbar

Thanks Stef for the info,looks like we have to trade the vehicle for one that's able to tow it or look at a lesser van weight.

Thanks again

Thanks Lizard for your reply,we live in Mandurah W.A. so where would be the best place to contact/look a signatory Engineer to check the chassis for a upgrade.
Thanks again
Lin

lizard,
Probably shouldn't stick my 2 bobs worth in here but are you sure the towing capacity can be upgraded. I know with chassis, tyre, suspension mods the GVM can be. The reason I ask is that a lot of people that had 80 series Landcruisers earlier than about 1997 had a towing max of 2500 kg while the same vehicle from 1997 onwards had 3500kg towing and no one would sign off on an upgrade no matter what mods they did.
Could be wrong and have been in the past...lol

Cheers
Pop

For an engineering signatory you could try - PITIC Adrian D @ Endracon Pty Ltd -HILLARYS - (08) 9307 1436

Thanks Pop and PeterD for your comments and I will certainly follow them up and verify everything before I do anything,whether its and upgrade or to sell the nissan and buy something else.

have been out of internet coverage for awhile , I forgot name of signatory engineer that certified my ute , I had chassis strengthened - transverse & also ATOC kit fitted to spring towers .... he forwarded papaer work to DPI , they sent me a new license with increased GCM (5800->6200 kg approx) , then I got new VIN cut & fitted .... rang insurance co & they noted upgrade on policy ...

Thanks Pop will get onto the site and check it out.
