It depends on who made it, and the equipment/material they use. 1.75" x .120 DOM is a good all-around size/thickness, and quite commonly used. Talk to your buddy and find out exactly what his capabilities are, and go from there. So, are you building a box-style bumper with a tube stinger, or going all tubing?

 

It works well...to simulate tube I have used the foam rubber you get at home depot to insulate the pipes on water heaters, it's cheap and gives you a rough idea of what it will look like. Just like anything else, the more prep you put in the better it will be.

 

Ok that sounds like a good size. But yeah i was looking to do a nice box bunper that angles up on the edges & then then main stinger with two side pipes coming off the stinger into the boxed bumper. Ill put up a picture of wha im trying to create for ya, if i can figure out how that is lol

 

i think that should have posted the picture... i dont really know though lol

 

Here it is, my custom stinger design! Looks good, not to bad. Needs paint

 

Smittybilt xrc front stinger for yj/tj

Not too big, not too small.

 

32" wide by 36" tall, mount it at a 45. It's pretty big but not too big.

 

Kudos to this guy. Only thing to add; make sure it's functional. Can't express how frustrating a non-functional stinger looks.

 

Thanks bro

9000...
