Stinger type bars

[vvilly]

What is the ruling here in nz with stinger type bars. is there any law on size or how far bar work protrudes from vehicle. in not talking excessively big....

[tomsoffroad]

Not allowed to protrude past the bumper line at all. I learnt this the hard way!!!!!

[vvilly]

on dory i made a loop with a slight forward lean


im talking a we bit further out than that
you dont see much of them over here

[tomsoffroad]

You might find a sympathetic wof fella who will let it through

[tomsoffroad]

The problem (so they say) is that if you hit someone stupid enough to get infront of you then the bar will push them under the vehicle I rekon that that person would have a whole heap of problems other than the bar if they were in that situation

im not talking like this

[vvilly]

to me if anyone gets in front of this they will still go under

[rangimotors]

ha ha ha crazy rule aye even if the bar slants the other way you will never push someone over your bonnet when your bonnet is the same height as their head

[vvilly]

something like this

I spoke to Rick about this and he said the rules are slightly different if you have a winch on the front. Haven't had chance to find any info though.

ARB Bars seem to stick out past the bumper line, so I say do it and find out later on

besides, are all WOF inspectors experts on factory bumper sizing

Cant be bothered finding a good side on pic but mine is a fair bit forward (maybe 150mm diff between top an bottom) an the certifier down here didnt say anything at all about it
