oh and you keep mentioning a stinger... i personally like short stingers level with the top of the hood, not so much a fan of the big tall ones and they are only really helpful if you are going down crazy grades or brush breaking

Heres my re-enforced "Stinger" I wouldnt call it much of a stinger, but if I hit a deer it would probably scoop it under the jeep instead of through my windsheild. you can see my main stinger tube which was the first one placed, it only leans out 1 thickness of the tube: I held it and stood over it eye balling it leaning out so the back of the tube was even with the front of the bumper, make sense?

I like it, too easch is own though. some guys like huge stingers, if youre not doing serious wheeling where endo situations are probable, its just for looks and... ya

Well heres the bumper alll mounted up and on. i like the finished product. im very happy with it. i used a can of dupli color truck bed coating for the finishing paint. it covered it up really good.
now that the bumper is on i notice how heavy duty and tough it is lol
