Is it the angle of the picture or just me. Is that thing level with the roof?
It's not my cup of tea, but if you like it, happy jeepin'!

To help in a end over end flip. But one that big is completely rediculous.

Oh well I guess it'd give a guy more leverage with one that big

Stingers help with keeping your front end off the ground in a roll over also if there is a steep ledge where your front end would usually hit it works as a skid to get your front end up onto the rock. That's how I use mine at least

No where close. I'll say rustys is a bit over the top but smittybilt makes one for the wrangler which is perfect. Not too big or too small. Thick tubing and a stubby bumper. I've used mine for moving small trees and brush out of the way. Luckily I've never had to use it for stopping the jeep from rolling over, but it's good to me.

Also with the stubby I like the approach angle. And the mounts to make the Yj/Tj bumper fit were easy to make.
