Offroad-Express

Hi All,

Question for anyone that might be able to help:

1. If I was to fix up a diesel truck that is currently on A Class rego (Farm Vehicle) and put it back on road would I have to pay RUC on KMs travelled off road to get back to normal Rego?

2. What if I were to convert the truck to a petrol engine? Would I have to get RUC up to date first?

This wagon has done about 95,000 kms since last RUC paid so think that would cost a fortune to bring up to date.

3. What does it cost to register a homebuilt vechicle for the first time? (this might be a cheaper option)

I believe that because it is currently registered as a farm vehicle you should not have to bring it up to date ...

umm i think you can claim the mileage back but i think you have to buy the mileage before you can claim it back yes silly i know but that is bureaucracy

i´m not sure if that applies to farm vehicles but with trucks you have to do it that way

you never know there maybe someone there with their head on straight

Cheers, I`ll give em a cal and see what they say.
