VEHICLE CLASSES (3)

The Son of Trials #6 is limited to three (3) distinct vehicle classes. They are as follows

1) Standard Style Class
For typically standard road registered 4WD vehicles that are unmodified, but we'll let you have a bullbar, towbar, driving lights and that sort of stuff!
Tyres: are limited to a maximum size of 31 inches. Please note if your vehicle has a factory tyre size larger than 31 inches as standard, then unfortunately we cannot permit you to enter in this class. You can enter if you fit 31 inch tyres or smaller to your vehicle. Vehicles that have split rims/tube tyres ("skinny's") as factory standard (eg older model Landcruisers, Patrols etc) that measure between 31-32 inches are permitted to enter in this class providing their vehicle meets all the other criteria.
Engines: must be original (or exact same type as the original) and unmodified.
Suspension: must remain completely unmodified. Body lifts are NOT permitted.
Gearing: modifications to diff ratios and transfer cases (eg crawler gears or twin transfer) are not allowed.
Traction Control and Diff Locks: are definitely NOT allowed. If you have them fitted to your vehicle, make sure we have some way of verifying that you cannot use them during the event (e.g. remove the fuse). We consider their use to be cheating and will result in automatic disqualification (and a good spanking, so there!).

2) Touring Style Class
For road registered 4WD vehicles with general touring style modifications.
Tyres: are limited to a maximum size of 33 inches. Please note if your vehicle has a factory tyre size larger than 33 inches as standard then unfortunately we cannot permit you to enter in this class. You can enter if you fit 33 inch tyres or smaller to your vehicle.
Engines: we don't care what engine powers your vehicle as long as it's legal, roadworthy and makes your 4 tyres go around and around!
Suspension: must retain its original factory mounting points and characteristics. Taller springs and shocks are permitted (with no limit on height) as long as original factory mounts are used and remain unmodified. Body lifts are ok. X-Links are permitted ONLY if the locking pin is in place, Superior Super Flex Arms are permitted, spring overs and leaf spring blocks are permitted.
Gearing: modifications to diff ratios and transfer cases (eg crawler gears or twin transfer) are permitted.
Traction Control and Diff Locks: are definitely NOT allowed. If you have them fitted to your vehicle, make sure we have some way of verifying that you cannot use them during the event (e.g. remove the fuse).
