Just a clean and simple winch bumper that flows nicely with the body lines.

I have a stinger, and personally I love the look of it. It makes it look more aggressive.

Understand the difference and it will be cool. Make it look like it serves a purpose, even though they're there just to look good

If your stinger isn't tall enough to hang a swing from it's not big enough.

Since you're asking...no they are stupid. Make a nice small bumper to ram trees and deer with, but avoid that dumb *** stinger!

Or do it, your choice
