A Side View... the stinger is 20" from bumper to tip and rises 15" vertical.


Stinger over the hood (with the driver leaning forward a little)... it is not visible if you are sitting back in your seat.


And a shot from below...

definitely hijacking this thread... sorry ... but figuring it's good information for people - as i put in the bumper order, do i need to buy a new roller / fairlead from you, or will the current setup that I have (pics below) work with the stinger, crawler caps, aluminum shackle mounts...? Note that the current one appears to be slightly raised above the bumper.

Just wondering ... why are you switching bumpers, the one you have is one I was looking at. I currently have a stock bumper.

Primarily because it's too long - looking for a much shorter piece, and with the stubbies I can get to 34"... 43 with the crawler caps. Im at 54 right now. Would rather be able to approach certain large rocks head on, as opposite to at an angle to account for the bumper being in the way.

You won't need your winch plate with the Frame-Built bumper, but any standard Roller Bracket will fit fine and work well for you.... including ours... which is available powdercoated black (blatant plug) for $39 with or without buying the bumper.

Actually, we have several options for that. First the Crawler Caps and the Mid Caps have a space on top to mount lights. You simply need to drill the hole. By not pre-drilling the hole, we provide the option to the end user.

In addition, we will be releasing brackets that bolt into strategic places for light mounting.

The great thing about our bumpers is the endless options. Got an idea for a place to mount lights... let us know, we can then add that as another option.
