OK A.R.X-D....
Let's get started.
First of all, Section 16 of the CHTA is prescribed for COMMERCIAL VEHICLES.
Passenger vehicle regulations are prescribed by Province or Territory.
Soooo.... Where you going?

I am planing to have a trip across Canada, so I need to have a legal steel bumper no matter where I go. (Including USA)
Any suggestions?

Believe it or not, just moving and registering a BONE STOCK vehicle from Province to Province requires a Vehicle Inspection! (Stupid Law... Maybe
) If you are in Manitoba, adhere to the Manitoba laws. If this is the case I'll look them up for you.
