Rule compliance Q&A
« on: March 11, 2010, 08:07:43 AM »
Here's a spot to ask questions before or while you are building your vehicle.  The following is an example of a question I had emailed to me. I think by asking these questions in a forum setting we can "kill two birds with one stone" and help multiple teams with questions and also maybe bring things up that people weren't thinking about.

-Eric

Sample question received:

QUESTION: hey...the rules said any axle housing....still has to be 5 lug with zuky stuff inside right?....not toyota

ANSWER: Suzuki manufactured axles means housings and anything external needs to appear as a stock Suzuki manufactured product. Toyota externals is definitely out. Now if you found a way to jam toyota gears inside a Suzuki third member, that'd be OK... Cromo axle shafts, spools, lockers, stuff like that OK.

Any housing refers to the fact that you could mix and match and put a GV housing under a Sidekick or a Sidekick housing under a Samurai or a Samurai front end under a Sidekick etc...

Does the housing include having to stick with a stock aluminum front housing on 4x4 Trackers or can we exchange it for after market components such as the Calmini Anvil?

You building a tank or a race car? :)

Aluminum or Steel Suzuki front end housings would be acceptable. The Anvil would not be acceptable this year but if you want to lobby for that next year, it's a possibility.

Cost containment.

 I'm planning on making a bold move and betting for Snow this year.  I'll be the only one on Tracks and ready for the freak weather.  As long as I keep them under 33" height I'm good right?
