Roll Cages: AMENDMENT- 01/7/2012: Enforced on all new teams immediately & all existing teams from 2014.

Are you not an existing competitor, if so you only need to comply with front profile for this year.

[Tuff Events]

Hi All

We have amended the profile rule for vehicles that have a wider front grill/guard area as follows. i.e 60/80/100 Series Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol GQ/GU, Suzuki Vitara etc.


Front Vehicle Profile

This is applicable to all teams from today forward. 01/07/2012

Original Grill / headlight surround must be 80% of original size. eg. if yours is factory width 1000mm, then you can only re-size down to 800mm. if yours is 1200mm, then your minimum size is now 960mm. Inclusive of Headlights. Examples of Applicable Vehicle Types - FJ40/45/47, Jeep CJ/TJ/JK, Suzuki Sierra etc......

For vehicles that have a full width front end, i.e 60/80/100 Series Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol GQ/GU you must retain 70% of the original front profile "Grill & Headlight surround Section". Note: If the grill is 1000mm wide, the narrowest you could take it is 700mm.

You must retain your Original Headlight Glass surround. NO Spot lights or LED's will be allowed.

Spot lights or led lights are permitted inside the original headlight glass if achievable.

Headlight modifications are allowed, but must use the original headlight glass. You must Contact TEPA for approval prior to modifying!

Always seek clarification from TEPA prior to modifying these crucial areas of your vehicle.

Hey Pete,
What about Hiluxs ? My grill is the full width would the 70% rule apply ?

[WICKED]

Any chance of reducing the 70% too 60%?

70% of a MQ/GQ/GU/60/80/100/hilux is still huge compared to 80% of a car with seperated guards (jeep/40/etc)

Sorry, but No! 70% that's it. And yes a Hilux would be 70% ruling.

Great thanks Pete.

Hey Pete,

I have the full metallurgy breakdown for the steel I've used. It surpassed the minimum spec for ccda cage steel in every way.

Can I expect you to be able to take this into consideration ?

What material have you used? What is the OD & wall thickness in metric?

Cheers

It's heavy in comparison to chromo yes but not what I'd call real heavy.

At $75 for 6m who cares :-)

Awaiting a reply Pete

When 1 3/4 tube is only $84 for 6m I don't see why people wouldn't use it. Unless of course your in WA, not sure on prices over there.

[Tuff Events]

Awaiting a reply Pete

Please email the specs sheet of the material. petera@tuffevents.com

Cheers

[brooksy]

Have to agree. To use the correct material only costs $2-3 more per metre. Not to mention weigh less & help COG.

works out to $147 for 6m in WA (incl gst) 1 3/4 .102 wall
or 24.55 per mtr (think it comes in a 7 odd mtr length)

[brooksy]

^^^^ WOW !!! that's unbelievable ...
