So as you all seen in my other post, i got my home brew front bumper done.. So now before i paint it and put it on, im thinking on adding a bull bar to it, i built this bumper to where its tucked quite a bit so mounting lights on top of it isnt gonna happen. I took one of the pics of it and drew out kinda what im wanting, in actual work it might look a little diffrent, but close. So, i need some opinions, should i add to it the idea ive got pictured or just leave it how it is?.. Oh and the circles is where id mount lights at..

Nice design. I would mount the lights on the inside of the arch I think but that is just preference.

x2 with lights, but that bumper is SICK!!! and it will look sick either way. Good work.

Yea ive been more toward doin it then not, figured id get some opinions and yall just boosted it lol.. What size pipe would you guys use for this and also about what angle outward would the middle structure be best at?..

1.75 for sure. keep it thick.

Also I'ld make the center arch a little sharper like other stinger u see! Just my thoughts!?!? But its a sweet bumper all around!!!

Oh yea, that drawing i made on my pic was just an idea of how im gonna do it..

i agree with whats been said, do it but move the lights, it'll look awesome.

How many degress outward is best for the stinger or how much does most companies welds theirs at?..

I think it depends on whether or not you wanna use it as a stinger or a brush guard. If you want it to be an actual stinger, it should also be supported by rock rails at least

See most likely my next project is gonna be rocker guards, so if i do build some ill be tieing in the rocker guards to the front and rear bumpers... Well ive asked everyone i know today about some 1 3/4" pipe for a stinger, no luck... SO now im debating on weither or not to order the Rusty's stinger...

I think you could order just the stinger bar from JCR or AJ's. Or if you can find a local welding shop/trailer building shop, they would probably have a bender and some tube they could sell to you and bend it for you too. If I add a stinger to my jeep, then I'll tie it in with tube fenders.

Well ive looked around at places for stingers that are already bent and made but Rustys is the only place ive found em. 45 bucks..
