4.3.1: Grills must be an OEM configuration (Dimensions, height, width) and size and approved by W.E.ROCK.
4.3.2: The grill must cover the entire front portion of the radiator.
4.3.3: Grills must also include two headlights. Headlights may be substituted with in-grill off road
driving lights in the factory location and approximate to the factory sizing.
4.3.4: Grills may not be narrowed from factory widths.
4.3.5: Grill Height must retain original height line in relation to the body height. The grill must be raised or lowered the same measurement at the body, if the body is moved.
4.3.5: Grill mounting points must retain stock hood height and configuration. (Maintaining Stock

4.4: Hood
4.4.1: Must cover the entire engine compartment and follow the factory form. Hood must retain OEM “slope” front to back and side to side.
4.4.2: OEM hoods may be substituted for hoods made of different material as long as it conforms

4.4.3: One-piece hood and fenders are approved as long as they resemble the factory look, or
follow the factory configuration.


4.5: Fenders
4.5.1: Vehicles must have an outer front fender. Front inner fenders must be maintained from the
radiator back to the centerline of the front shock absorber, stretching from the outer fender down
to a distance no greater than 3” from the top of the frame.
4.5.2: Fenders must be mounted to the main portion of the passenger compartment or cowl and
extend to the grill.
4.5.3 All fenders that retain the integrity of the original vehicle’s “image” will be approved.
Example: creating a “flat-fender” style look and adding that to a CJ7 will be acceptable. Fenders
must retain stock width for the entire fender; a rounded front corner is allowed to a radius no wider/larger than 6”, OEM width is required up to the hoods side latch attachment points, from there the hood may angle in to the grill.
4.5.4: Vertical material may be trimmed. The original body line of the fender and hood must remain OEM.
4.5.5: Front fenders can not be cut to clearance shocks
4.5.6: Front inner fenders must cover the area from the front of the radiator to the center of the
front shock; complete front inner fenders must have a 3” hole that can be used for fire
suppression.
4.5.7: Rear inner fenders must be retained.
4.5.8: All vehicles must retain their original back body corner designs (no dovetailing
permitted). All vehicles must have rear lights for stop/turn and driving. After market lights
may be used.

4.6.1: Must house two front passenger seats mounted side by side at both the left and right side
of the vehicles passenger compartment on the same horizontal plane.

4.6.4: All OEM tub/cab configurations are approved for competition. Aftermarket tubs must be
OEM width and W.E.ROCK approved.
4.6.5: No clip-in body panels are allowed (Zeus clipped, quick replacement panels). Repaired
panels are acceptable but must retain the same thickness as stock.
4.6.6: Complete floors must be retained including rear inner fenders.
4.6.7: No cutting of floor is allowed with the following exemptions.
The center section of the floor is approved for cutting & rising to allow drive train clearance
directly over drive train components. This does not include Drivelines, axles or axle shafts. Cutting and re-boxing for the clearance of non-suspension items, including tires, shocks and fuel tank is permitted. No boxing for clearance of springs, air-shocks, or suspension links is allowed.
4.6.8: Tubs/cabs may be cut along the bottom (rocker) area of the vehicle, up
to, but not including the Floor.
4.6.9: The back of the tub/cab may be trimmed horizontally to match the rocker height. A
minimum distance of 24” from the center of the axle to the back of the body must be maintained
on bobbed vehicles. Bobbed vehicles must retain the original rear corners. Trucks with non-convertible tops must retain the OEM appearance of having a roof. Meaning the body lines of replacement top must follow OEM lines.
4.6.10: All items used to replace missing body parts or pieces, must be approved by W.E.ROCK. This includes rocker panels or rocker sections, rear quarter panels, fenders, hoods, etc.
4.6.11: All replacement body parts or pieces must be able to remain intact and whole during a
competition, any replacement body parts or pieces that fail during competition, will be required to

found to be a competitive advantage.
A- Glass may be removed (recommended). All non-safety glass must be taped completely.
B- Doors and tailgates may be removed.

4.8: Bumpers
W.E.ROCK considers the front bumper to be the foremost part of the frame excluding push bars,
stingers, etc. The rear bumper is considered to be the rearmost part of the vehicle.
4.8.1: Bumpers must connect the right and left frame rail.
4.8.2: Rear bumper may be fitted flush to rear most portion of the body, but the body may not
protrude beyond the rear most portion of the bumper.
4.8.3: Front bumper may be fitted flush to the front most portion of the body, but the body may not
protrude beyond the front most portion of the bumper.


4.14: Frame
W.E.ROCK considers the frame of a vehicle to be the two rails supporting the mounting of the body and drive train as the main frame, and connecting cross members as the sub frame.
The following are frame guidelines for competition:
4.14.1: All OEM Frames are approved. All frames must meet OEM configuration (dimensions, height, width, length, number and location of cross members) If bobbed, and rear most cross is removed, a bumper must be added and fit the bumper rules.
4.14.2: Frame reinforcement is approved.
4.14.3: Replacement frames built by commercial manufacturers and available on the market as
W.E.ROCK must approve a promoted product.
4.14.5: The mainframe must be made of boxed or semi-boxed magnetic steel.
4.14.6: No full or partial round tube mainframe rails.
4.14.7: No notching of the frame is allowed.
4.14.8: Frames may not be shorter than OEM specifications, for the declared vehicle. Measurement will be made along the top edge of the frame (rule 4.8.2 will be taken into consideration when measurements are taken). If there is a dispute on frame length, the owner must state declared vehicle, measurements will be taken and verified before the next event. Penalties will be assessed accordingly.

Please do....:smokin:
Ok, as with everything I post, here are the questions I have received on the rules:

4.8.2: Rear bumper may be fitted flush to rear most portion of the body, but the body may not
protrude beyond the rear most portion of the bumper.

4.8.3: Front bumper may be fitted flush to the front most portion of the body, but the body may not
protrude beyond the front most portion of the bumper.

4.14.1: All OEM Frames are approved. All frames must meet OEM configuration (dimensions, height, width, length, number and location of cross members) If bobbed, and rear most cross is removed, a bumper must be added and fit the bumper rules.

4.14.8: Frames may not be shorter than OEM specifications, for the declared vehicle.

Okay so the highlighted things that I'm confused by.... and the purple part seems to contradict the yellow parts

So does that mean the front of the frame on my Jeep can be bobbed to be even with the front grill as long as I remount the front bumper at that point??? Similar to the way the tub and frame are even at the back of the Jeep???
i have all the jeep/willys (cj2a-yj's) frame diagrams with deminsions. i would think we could have all the vehicles represented with frame diagrams? make decissions at the very first tech-in.
You left out the section on Window Nets.
Is there any rules written out for the nets yet?

The rules are written for more than one type of vehicle, you can not chage the frame length except when bobbing, and then you need to follow the rules to that exception.

So no, a jeep front end can not be shortened
Thanks Big. Anything on the nets yet?
We will be adding the net rules shortly, but for right now, they are the same as what I have listed for in the High Speed Rules on pirate
Welcome....:D
More comments:

so the rear frame is fair game but the front is not?
This is something I really dont understand.... In more than one place the rules mention.....

4.14.1: All OEM Frames are approved. All frames must meet OEM configuration (dimensions, height, width, length, number and location of cross members)

4.14.8: Frames may not be shorter than OEM specifications, for the declared vehicle. Measurement will be made along the top edge of the frame.

So where in the rules are you allowed to bob the rear of the frame???

And if so why?!?!

By these two rules it would be very clear you cant.....
