This class is a stock production class. If the rules herein don’t say that you can do it, you CAN’T do it and it will be deemed illegal. All components must remain stock as delivered from the manufacturer unless otherwise stated within. Manufacturer’s body, chassis, engine, transmission, and differentials must be retained. Parts offered for sale from the same OE manufacturer, with an OE part number, for the same model, as dealer installed accessories, over the counter accessories, or performance parts are considered original equipment.
NOTE: The TR abbreviations listed under this class (I.E. TR1 HELMETS) refer to TR cross reference listings in the front of this book. These TR cross-referenced listings are part of the class rules. Where a conflict occurs between the TR cross-referenced listing and a rule contained under this class, the rule contained under this class takes priority.

Vehicles with radius arm brackets that have a stock cross member attached to the bracket and the frame, must use the stock cross member as delivered from vehicle manufacturer. Cross member may not be modified or reinforced in any manner. The cross member may only attach in the original stock mounting holes in the bracket and frame. Only vehicles equipped from the factory with a radius arm cross member may use a horizontal cross member between the radius arm brackets. Any attachment of a cross member or plate for any purpose, including skid plate bracket, to any other radius arm bracket is not allowed.
