All Nighter Stinger Build
Me and my buddy decided last night that I needed a new bumper before morning. We gathered scrap materials and started mapping out designs for a Baja style stinger bumper and this is what we ended up with.

Thanks guys and I DO plan on reinforcing it, I was just short on materials and cash, so it is what it is for now. I did however butt up to a tree in 2wd and slowly press the gas and she spun tires (given I was in dirt but still) the stinger itself flexed 1/2" or so back seeing as its 30" long but it kept its shape great and none of the welds or anything failed. It was made of steel pipe not tubing so it is pretty Robust.

if you have another long piece of "pipe", i would start over and bend the hoop using heat and an old brake rotor with integrated studs. that way the tip is round. it looks odd with the flat top. just my opinion.
if you like it, that's all that matters. otherwise good job.
