Mine is, as I feel, a good design to produce a stinger, that isn't tied into a cage, which might actually hold up to an endo. That, and it works great to mount hill faces I can't get started on.
x2. I never see any bumpers that look like actual armor that can handle the rocks
took me forever to find the right one (yours)
and I dont plan on going to a trail where its very likely for me to roll forward until I am completely done upgrading
so yeah mounting hills will be my main function too.

If you want a removable stinger couldnt you weld on a tube that fits inside of the stinger tube and drill a hole thru both and put a bolt in it to make it removable? I kno theres a technical term for what I just explained but I cant think of it for the life of me right now

my only thought was to make a stinger that wraps around up over the bumper from the frame
and it bolts on to the frame.
