well i was looking around on the internet trying to find a bumper that i liked. I really liked the ones with a stinger bar but i couldnt find one that was less then 350-400 that i liked. so i decided that this last week i would just build one. Well here it is.

let me know what you guys think....







the next two pics i show the little mini skid plate i built for the gear box.




D-rings shackles are going to be on sometime this week.

time for a lift and wheels and tires!

yeah its already got the 2.25 bb in it on 31s. if i go any bigger in tire size im going to need to regear.. just havent had the money to do that yet.

to be honest im not a fan of huge stingers, doesnt really serve a point, but with that said, i can appreciate a FAB job, looks like a nice clean bumper

I have to agree with above...too tall and sticks out to far for my taste.

[mrbates]

nice job man

Do you have pics of the buildup? I'd like to try the same myself, but I don't know where to start.
Great bumper, it's always better to build exactly what you want rather than pay for something you (almost) like.

awesome job, any chance you can post the specs/measurments you used?

[newracer]

too steep, should be at about 45* if you want it to function as a stinger

PSC stinger for reference

[adurbin]

Not my taste, but its your jeep. Good fab work though.

agreed! i figure when i start seeing professional rock crawlers with them, then it will be my turn to add one

the point of a stinger is to prevent a front flip and to protect the radiator and hood during a roll, neither of which a professional rock crawler needs to worry about
