Cut the 2 bends and run it like that. Add some gussets and it could move some brush and branches out of the way no problem. Thats my helpful advice because im a "d-bag", but honestly what did you expect when you posted a 7 foot stinger lol

so today i found time to weld the stinger itself to the angle bar after cutting the thing down a bit..... still probally shoulda cut more so most likely i will end up cutting this thing off , shortening it more, add a little more forward angle to it, and re-welding it lol

but for now, here it is:

yeahh haha well i can garuntee if it were to take an absolutely huge hit... the welds themselves with no gussets/reinforcements would not hold. I'll probally cut it up a little and put it back on soon..

and when u said something its not meant for... all i cou;d think of is going thru a car like a spearr hahahahah



but yes, its still a work in progress, atleast its not the eiffel tower pokin off the front

No because he just said he will probably end up cutting it off, cutting it shorter, then welding it back on

Yeah, but I wanna. Maybe just a little?

Maybe something about hanging a close line from it or something gentle like that?
