the best thing ive learned is instead of prematurely doing something with little or not enough money to do the way you want it to turn out is to wait, save your money and do it the way you want it. so dont slack

The jeep is still in the garage so this is the best pic that i have atm. its a piece of bent tube bolted onto the stock front bumper with added light mounts.

I came in here expecting rocket launchers attached to Cherokee bumpers. I was very disappointed.

i would take off the front bumper and get a peice of 2x6 then make it angle to the sides then seal it off and put a stinger on it. or just weld a stinger to the frame and have no bumper!

i believe the main point of a stinger is to keep the jeep from rolling over forwards. it is almost impossible to roll over back wards so whats the point. and if you attach to a stock bumper it would be to weak to do anything any way

Default stinger

you are correct patially, a stigner is so keep it from rollin over forward but it is also to mow stuff over and its there to held the vehicle over a rock. say your decending into a crevis the stinger will help slide the vehicle along until the front tires can touch the ground rather u decending and the radiater/front end/ motor/ everything get smashed up.
