STERLING STINGER Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 no, you need something to cover the wheels unless its a classic plate on ur truck :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Correct, wether its a flatbed or just fenders something has 2 be overtop the wheels. I hold a current PA State Safety and Emmisions inspection license so feel free to ask any other questions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Mini hi-jack of the thread ...........for the Comanche Kid How about a stinger front bumper ..... legal? I recently pulled off my stock one, because someone slammed into me in a parking lot, bent it all up and cracked my pass. side headlight bezel and front grill ..... the person just left, nothing, no note ..... Luckily I traded some kid on craigslist a set of old 31s on some wagon wheels for a front bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I acctually don't know if you could run a Stinger style bumper and i couldent find anything on how much protruding material was allowed to stick out, but I think theyre would be a rule somewhere aginst it, i just can't seem 2 find it. Yeah I'm currently not working for a shop anymore so I can't get my hands on emissions equipment....lol sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STERLING STINGER Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 ya that things crazy.....i wouldnt even be able to drive with that on......but thats just me....and I'm almost 100% sure that it won't pass with it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I got it inspected in Jan. with the stock bumper on, I got hit, then put the stinger on. I can't find anything that states its legal, but driving around makes me nervous ... Does anyone have any links to PA inspection information. I drive like an old lady, and have never been pulled over, but it still makes me cautious. Could I get pulled over for a bumper? My friend was pulled over for not having any bumper ..... but what about 2much bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 ......... Is this the actual list for inspection? ..... If so I can pick out a tons of cars/trucks/jeeps that are stock that would instantly fail ...... The bumper section makes reference to width of a bumper, as in it can not be longer than the body lines, but does not say anything about grill guards, or stingers, or any "supplemental" devices ...... http://www.pacode.com/secure/data/067/c ... 75.80.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildman Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Not into the PA inspection thing........But, would that front bumper be any different than a truck with a plow on the front???? :hmm: I wouldn't think so........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'm a North Carolina inspector, and I don't think there is anything here that says it wouldnt be legal, as long as it has some sort of front bumper, it don't matter what it looks like, If I were you, I would try to get it inspected with it on just to see what happens. Not sure about the laws there, but here if an inspection is failed, you don't pay for the whole inspection, and have a period of time to get it repaired and reinspected and pay the remainder.... no big deal.
