From Bernie re beadlocks

must be certified to LVVTA standard.

38.10 delete as duplicates
Modifications to body, Standard class
Remove 7.9
George bought up a contentious issue re body mods but needs more
thought. Needs to go into pending rules. There are inconsistencies in the
classes re body mods
44.1 Subsection d) re spare wheel not required
A vehicle jack and jacking plate needs to be carried. Why still
