View Full Version : VSCCS Certification's

Kerry and I tried one 4wd shop then another, but simply got no interest in assisting us through certification. They'd take the money, verbally guarantee it was safe, but obfuscate like crazy when you started speaking about certification.

Then we tried Sam (Hills 4x4). We didnt even bring it up. Just had him working through issues and fine tuning. Then he brought it up. Really a mechanic talking about certification? That's new.

So the journey started with Sam recomending what we needed, and interfacing with the certifier that he has CLEARLY built up a long term relationship with.

Result of the swerve test - "another well presented vehicle from Sam". Thats a direct quote from the VSCCS certifier. Brake test blew them away. And the certifier boys are happy.

So the Jeep is now dinky-di certified, new tyre placard, locked in at RMS etc.

if you are interested in this journey, talk to us. I can always pass on details of the Certifier. They are genuine vehicle, particularly 4WD, enthusiasts. But I'd recommend leveraging from the reputation that Sam's Jeep builds have with them.

FWIW, its a JK shorty 3" lift (possibly closer to 4" unloaded), with "metric" 35" tyres on offset wheels. Kit is a mix of Synergy, Terraflex, Fox, and Sam's local suppliers.

Great work Dru getting your car certified. At least you can drive with the confidence of being legal & insured.

Yes it is a pleasant surprise to here a mechanic recommending certification. Congrats Sam - Hills 4x4!!!

Also for those unaware Sam is also a member of SJC.

Sam - is the certifier Johno?

Rob I'm not sure what bars require, but they are simply VSCCS certifiers. If you get pi ged, these are the blokes you have to go to. I'll dig out the details and PM.
