Paul Bruchal Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm getting my Jeep ready for Inspection again and had to get bumpers again. So i was finally forced to buy the bumpers I been waiting to get which is fine by me. I love this bumper, but I want the D rings and either the light bar for grill protection on trails or Stinger for overkill protection from branches and other vehicles on the road... I really can't decide. I'm leaning on stinger side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm a little partial to the stubby stinger with a winch-light style LED bar on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88whitemanche Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have the same bumper on my xj...I'm going stinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Bolt on d-rings seem kinda sketchy to me... The stinger or small hoop I thi k would be OK bolted on but I'd still feel better with it welded on... I have a 20" light bar in my small hoop on my Cherokee.

poopypants Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 D. None of the above Save for a winch ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 The stinger would protect the front end from the occasional roos you might encounter too. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Don't put a stinger on it. That is the most mall rated mod you can possibly do. I personally think they look idiotic on anything. It ranks right up there with a snorkel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm picking up the stinger because it actually looks mean on this bumper as an option...and well I picked it up CHEAP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great...I've been trying to avoid being seen as one and I picked up this bumper for CHEAP $100 brand new from scratch and dent and still fell into the Category... Smh oh well...

OP, why would you want to use the light bar as protection? doesnt make much sense to me. a simple (and low) hoop is all you really need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bruchal Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 My Jeep isnt Mall Rated or anything like that. It has trail damage on all panels. I bought the Jeep to get to our training areas down mud trails/dirt roads on Ft Benning. I'm planning on making this Jeep into a Expedition rig. Its working fine now hauling military equipment as 3ID is being disbanded right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Had a stinger on my TJ (not quite as obnoxious as the one Don posted, but not a stubby one either). Biggest PITA I ever had when it came to doing anything under the hood. Only reason I had it was because the bumper (with said stinger welded to it) was free. More than once I thought about breaking out the sawzall and removing it. Never even came close to needing it on the trail. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use it and it has saved you (as has mine) from locking up your engine Ill look "idiotic" all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
