Ive been trying to find specific rules on the various classes for say class 8. I would like to make some changes to my truck and would like to someday compete (big maybe) and I dont want to modify my truck beyond the rules.

I tried scores website and you must pay to be a member to get them.

I joined race-dezert.com but I havnt been approved to post yet so I thought I would see if any of you guys had an idea.

I was just on pirate 4x4 and asked the same ? So why would I get bashed and have people say stuff like "if you cant afford the rules you cant afford to race". I mean come on who pays fer stuff if its free somewhere else. I know I'll have to buy a membership to score if I AM ever ready to compete or want to so why pay for the same rules twice even if there 2 bucks???

Whatever rant off.

if class 8 is full size stock then i am in the same boat cant seem to get any rules or an idea just how stock the trucks stay.

Pirate's a tough crowd and you must have thick skin. When making a thread there it helps to post links to almost useful info you searched yourself so it looks like you did make an effort. Not saying you didn't just a FYI.

I've not read the book, so the question is valid for me too. I don't know how much "give" the tech advisors give, I imagine suspension lifts are allowed but suspension swaps are definitely out. I know my Chevy won't qualify simply because of the sheet metal rules.

so then what class is kroeker and those guys runnin with fiberglass fenders and bedsides?

Yeah thanks for the tip. I thought the crowd was gonna be more like the diesel crowd ya know eager to lend a hand or atleast not bite. What did I expect from a bunch a pirates?

thanks foe the link man every little bit helps. I passed by that on there site. Sounds like class 8 may not be what I'm looking for. The max allowable shock bolt is no more than half inch is what I thought I read. I may reread that again sounds like a misprint I would think.

Check out info for the 2008 Baja 1000. I looked into going down for the event and think there may be rules/guidelines posted on that site.
