Legal GVM Requirements
For a GVM kit to be compliant, it undergoes thorough testing procedures, such as a robot ESC test (ADR 35/05), a LT2 Lane test and a FEA analysis is conducted of high-load area in relation to vehicle standards bulletin 14.
A heavy duty suspension kit does not make it a GVM update.
How do I know If I need a GVM upgrade?
Is your vehicle fully accessorised? If yes, chances are you need a GVM upgrade! In very rare circumstances, a vehicle would not require a GVM upgrade upon installation of a full suite of accessories. If you are unsure whether your vehicle needs a GVM upgrade, please seek advice from your local TJM fitment centre.
What happens if you exceed your GVM?
If you exceed your GVM, you risk all insurance claims and eligibility being voided and in most cases the vehicle will be deemed non-roadworthy, by law.
