PRE-REGISTRATION UPGRADES (I.E. VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW, END USER HAS NOT ACCEPTED DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE AND MOTOR DEALER HAS NOT YET REGISTERED THE VEHICLE)

Vehicle details

• Engine number
• Vehicle build date (month and year)
• Seating capacity

Client details

• End user name on contract of sale
• End user address (not a PO box)

Financials

• $1,000.00 deposit, if financed through vehicle package then a purchase order number from applicable Toyota dealership

Finer details

• Is old suspension to be disposed of? There is no resale value on OEM suspension and it cannot be used as spare parts as it will deem your upgrade as non-compliant until GVM certified parts are re-fitted.
• Is vehicle is having any front axle constant loads (i.e. bullbar or winch). If so, it is suggested to be fitted whilst we are carrying out the upgrade (or prior to). This is so the front spring platform height can be adjusted correctly. Altering the spring platform height at a later date can be costly.
• Provide in detail how you heard or found out about BAM Garage

After upgrade

• Upon insuring your new vehicle do make your insurance provider aware of the upgrade
• Suspension to be retensioned within 0,500km. (0.5 hour labour charge applies).

 

POST-REGISTRATION UPGRADES (I.E. VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN-SERVICE) - SOME FEATURES OF THESE UPGRADES MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE DEPENDING ON WHICH STATE THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN

Vehicle details

• Copy of registration certificate - must show full engine number. These are no longer posted to you, it may need to be requested online.
• Image front of vehicle
• Image side of vehicle
• Image rear of vehicle
• Image current odometer reading
• Image of the vehicle compliance plate

Client details

• End user name
• End user address (not a PO box)

Financials

• $1,000.00 deposit

Finer details

• Is old suspension to be disposed of? There is no resale value on OEM suspension and it cannot be used as spare parts as it will deem your upgrade as non-compliant until GVM certified parts are re-fitted. If your old suspension has already been lifted but is more than 3 years old or 60,000km you likely will find it difficult to get a worthwhile resale
• Are there any future plans for additional front axle constant loads (i.e. bullbar or winch). It is suggested to be fitted whilst we are carrying out the upgrade (or prior to). This is so the front spring platform height can be adjusted correctly. Altering the spring platform height at a later date can be costly. This is not relevant if vehicle already has bullbar / winch, in which case answer not applicable.
• Does vehicle have airbags fitted to the rear axle? Depending on vehicle current ride height these may be too short & not re-usable. If yes, are we to replace, reuse or decomission?
  • If vehicle does not have a true 2 inch lift already fitted the airbags will be too short and not salvagable
  • Warning: if airbags are over 18months old they are not suggested to be re-used as the airbag will have moulded into shape with the old coil spring which can result in leakage. In some examples the airbags are impossible to remove from the old coil due to swelling. This applies to both light duty and heavy duty airbags. There is no warranty provided for leakage post-recycling as per these age suggestions.
  • Always check with your insurance company as some do not cover a vehicle at all that has bellows airbags fitted
• Provide in detail how you heard or found out about BAM Garage

After upgrade

• Change of particulars form to be lodged with state transport authority (provided by BAM Garage).
• Notify your insurance company of the upgrade. It should not affect your premium, under the rare condition that it does it may be worth looking at a different insurance provider.
• Suspension to be retensioned within 0,500km. (0.5 hour labour charge applies).
