Trying to decide which Hanson Offroad bumper
I currently have a Rustys trail bumper that got me through my first few years of foray into the world of offroading. Never had any issues with it and it is a good unit, but now I am wanting to step up a bit.
I am trying to decide between two of Hanson's units and will be choosing between these two only. I really like what I hear about Hanson quality and workmanship and already have one of their rear tire carrier bumpers coming, so my OCD wants me to keep it Hanson front and rear.
So I am caught between the two and am getting ready to just flip a coin, but figured that I would toss it out here to see what you guys think.
I really like the Stinger because, well, its a Stinger.
I also really like the Pre-runner look too.

I like that Hanson bumper, one of these days I will replace my old Rustys bumper I bought used 5 yrs ago in Springfield. It's built somewhat like mine except mine is all tube.

Looks like 90% of the radiator inlet is blocked in that pic.
Curious as I am considering a winch bumper that would block about 1/2 of the radiator inlet

Not much love for the stinger!
I am leaning toward the pre-runner myself, so looks like this will be in my near future (as soon as my F and R lockers and 4.88's are installed).

LOL. I have seen worse stingers than this one for sure.
I like the looks of my Rusty's trail bumper and the pre-runner above is quite a bit like it, but when my 15 year old and 10 year old saw a picture of the stinger, they both started jumping up and down and wanted that one.

I like the Hanson with the stinger-
Mostly cuz everyone else has the pre-runner style
The stinger is more for what I like to do- no, not nosedives!!!

Why are you listening to your kids? Put what you want and feel. My dad never listened to me a few years back. He has his tastes and I have mine and he did what he wanted because it was his. Even though he ended up giving me the truck, it was his at the time and did as he pleased and now that it's mine I can change it if I want.
