Meh, I don't hate it. Not what I would do but to each their own. The only practical purpose I see for a stinger is radiator protection. Hitting a deer is a big issue out here. A crossbar to keep an animal out of the radiator could be the difference between driving home or knocking on someone's door to use their phone because you have no service to call someone.

I will say that I have some pretty decent headlights but one head survived a push from a tree branch but shatterd the back side where the light bucket is supported that headlight still works but point towards the ground.
some kinda bar to direct things off the light may protect it from breakage.

If stinger was usefull maybe anchor a ****** blocking to lift line off rocks now that might be cool

Ugly yes. I always thought this is what they were used for. I’ve also seen pictures of people holding down the front end of a Jeep with a strap tied to the stinger.

Is this what you were talking about? Keeps the vehicles from disappearing into the abyss. I thought the ****** block idea you had was cool, but like the pic I thought about the suspension getting squashed. I guess it doesn’t matter really.

Nay. Can you imagine how hard it will be to work around the front of the engine compartment?
