Say my chassis number on my GU chassis is not completely visible (and readily obtainable) because I have welded my sliders to the chassis and my mount plate covers a portion of my chassis number? The chassis number beneath my welded bar work does however match my registration papers trust me what is the deal here?

This is a load of s*!T. You will have gone from 35 trucks down to 5. How are you going to make a competition out of this. Everything except suspension has to be DOT PLATED - WHY NOT SUSPENSION DOT PLATED THEN. Why not make it impossible to enter.

rule 2.2.2 states that a jacking plate and wheel brace must be carried.
Can my jacking plate be the flatest rock I can lay my hands on and Is a ratchet, socket and extension bar considered a wheel brace? Some offset rims do not allow for the use of any standard wheel brace.

These new ones do make it pretty much impossible to enter hey....well for three quarters of the current challenge competitors anyway.
If these rules were designed to keep costs in check by gettin rid of coilovers etc. How much is it gonna set everyone back to get everything blue plated in nazi queensland transport land?
rule 34 states that " Driver and navigator shall be breath tested prior to competing "
As "shall" = "Mandatory - no room to deviate from rule" I assume that both driver and navigator of each and every team shall be breath tested prior to commencement of each individual track at every round?
Also will the person/s carry out the breath testing be certified to do so and carry a copy of their certification? Will the breatherlizer/alcolizer be manufactured and certified to Australian standard 3547-1997
Will a current calibration certificate meeting Australian standard AS3547 and SM 2334 relevant to the breatherlizer/alcolizer in use be carried and available for presentation?

I could think of a shit load more questions and "what if's" to ask but just thought I'd ask a few so every one can get some sort of answers to questions that WILL be asked.
Why do it in a separate post each time..................well because it makes it easier to quote a reply and it is doing wonders for my post count

Mate my truck is fine all I have to do is move my isolator switch outside the vehicle and slap the triangle sticker on (oooh and put a LH rear axle in it ) but just asking a few questions that people WILL ask and argue and may as well get it cleared up now.

Just started to read and looks like it'll be a long night and might give it miss just go to janowen for a bash and a few coldies maybe come and watch a handfull run rd 3
But I must sat its ok to have the rules, but they must be policed equally over the board of competitors, so Officials - No changing your mind because it suits you at the time, unless is it a safety issue.
If it is the case i can't run challange class i'm 110% for a outlaw class even tho the lux hasn't cost alot as i'm only a 3rd yr shit kicker so you don't need a big budget to do it
I reckon it is only to keep certain people out. Why have "Dual transfer" DOT plated and not a 4" - 8" lift on "Suspension" Be DOT plated. BECAUSE IT CAN"T BE DONE!!!!!
I Think the Suspension rule should state max 2" Body lift, 2" spring lift or 4" total. This would make it DOT legal.
See how many trucks compete then.

Well i like to add my two cents, WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSH$T! How about just bring the Qld Transport to the comp for inspection before we compete and get them check over all our vehicles, i am sure none of us would be coming out of there and back on the road.
I'm with the idea lets go to Jonowen and have some fun!
I second that "Willy"
all this stuff about d.o.t is a joke .
all the vehicles competing should have to be track worthy not roadworthy.
it is all good having these rules in place but loose the blue plate crap its a waste of time and money.
engineering and modifications should only be policed by tough tracks club.
Ahh yeah, i hope your depending on starting the checks at 6:00am in the morning because it's going to take nearly 1hr for the officals to get out of bed then probably another half hr to get motivated and then more time for people to line up then do the checks... so i'm guessing around a 10am track start...... Well... since the qld transport rules, i guess there will be a limited amount of cars so that might bring the track start to 9am. That is all!
OK... HOW ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS OF THE EVENT HOLD A SCRUTINEERE WEEKEND A FEW WEEKS PRIOR TO THE EVENT AND LET EVERY ONE KNOW WHAT THEY NEED TO FIX/CHANGE PRIOR TO THE EVENT SO WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME FIELD........
I BUILT MY NEW TRUCK OPN THE CCDA RULES, NOW IM NOT SURE WHAT AND WILL NOT PASS......
Can the one car be driven twice by two different competitors??? I don't see this in the rules.
Which means I should be allowed to finish off the year in someone else's truck.
Anyone out there that will let me drive there legal truck 4 the weekend???

Also under 3.4.8 Steering up grades shall be DOT plated
So a GU steering box fitted to a GQ is considered an upgrade and shall need to be DOT plated?
Also what about a GQ fitted with the big GQ steering box (that did not come from factory with the big box fitted) does this also need to be blue plated?
