Sec 16 of the CHTA is for Commercial Vehicles....
Sec 16 of the Manitoba Highway Traffic Act IS applicable.
A modded Jeep is considered a Type 1 Special Vehicle.
TO CLARIFY!
It appears that FULL WIDTH STEEL BUMPERS MOUNTED ON A FRAME WITH DESIGNATED CRUMPLE ZONES (Jeeps Are) AND MOUNTED WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED HEIGHTS WILL BE LEGAL IN MANITOBA.

So...
In your opinion, the "LoD Full Width Bumper" will be legal in Manitoba?
*Thank you for your time.

Thank you!
I am stock, for now.
Planing to have the "1.5 Teraflex performance leveling kit" and maybe, just maybe 33"...
Some day in the very (VERY) far future, 35" with 3" lift (final goal)
I don't want to buy front steel bumper twice... so I'm asking all the question.
