So WA state laws so vague on bumpers and stingers, anyone no whats up with if its legal to run a shorty stinger in WA

 

Er, hope they're OK to have. Just bought the PSC Brawler Lite with Brawler Bar as a Black Friday special... Would be a buuuuuummmmer if I have to cancel the order...

 

I live in Oregon and go to Vancouver, WA a lot as my parents live there. Neither state has given me issues. Even had some cops stop me and ask me about the bumper in both states.

 

Been surfing some of the other NW threads and there are a number of folks that have stinger/winch guards so I think they're probably fine...

 

I don't see why they would have laws against them?

 

love to see pics when ya get yours mine should be here any day jeeps in the garage with the bumper off and hope i dont have to relocate the air pump.

 

Technically: But I doubt they enforce this RCW

(1) The body, fenders, and bumpers shall be maintained without protrusions which could be hazardous to pedestrians. In addition, the bumpers shall be so attached and maintained so as to not protrude beyond the original bumper line.

 

Some very enlightening info here: h ttp://www.wsp.wa.gov/traveler/passequip.htm

Projections
As stated above:
Body, Fender, and Bumpers - Shall be maintained without protrusions that could be hazardous to pedestrians. Bumpers shall not extend past the original bumper line. RCW 46.37.517

Height Requirements
Body Lift - 3" maximum spacer, with body not raised more than 4" above frame when installation is complete. WAC 204-10-036

Fender Flares & Anti-Spray Devices
Required - All vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers must be equipped with fenders, covers, flaps, or splash aprons adequate for minimizing the spray or splash of water and mud to the rear if the vehicle.

For passenger cars, motorcycles, mopeds, trailers, and semi-trailers, all such devices shall be as wide as the tires behind which they are mounted, and extend down to at least the center of the axle. (See required equipment for exceptions)

 

Thats what i read its so vague and with the vehicles that have bars and bulls bolted to there o.e's. i have read somewhere that if cited for an issue like bumpers and fenders they can impound your rig on the spot if they want wtf. makes me wanna keep it stock after ordering front and rear metal,lift,f driveline,winch,ect....ugh.

 

Here's mine. I don't run a front plate either.....
