I'm being told this is illegal for comp use, anyone have any idea why this isn't allowed?

Add 2 bars or a bumper to widen the rear.

A bumper would count? I could bolt one on then

• 2 of the 3 following modifications are allowed:
- Dovetailing the rear (1/2 the width of the widest part of the cab) *a truggy/tube bed that is narrower than the cab counts as a dovetail*

How about a pic from the above, it has to be at least 1/2 the width of the cab in the rear. At least that how I read the rules

I guess I didn't know it was considered a dove tail since I thought that applied to bodies etc

You couldn't just braze a couple small hoops to the sides or a 3/16" rod bumper on the underside that is at least 3.5" wide?

I could, but I don't have time to strip it down and do that before Thursday and if a bumper like that passes it would save alot of time!!

Is there a way you could fashion some sort of mount and bolt it on?
