New bumper, stinger or no stinger...I cant decide

I am looking to get a new front bumper. When I bought my jeep it has the tube style on it and I just cant grow to like um. So i have decided on 2 different ones.

No stinger


Stinger


I don't do any crazy 4wheelin but deffinatly do enough that I want some protection. Im wondering if the stinger is over kill, but i do like the protection for the winch.

So what do you guys think, stinger or no stinger.

Thanks!

I was looking at the SB bumpers for the price really. Once you add in winch and acc. things start to get a little expensive.

Im not sure if i really like the ridiculousness of the stinger either, but if i hit something I would hate to trash my winch.

I think they would keep the deer from flipping up when you hit them.

While I personally find the stinger bumper ugly as sin....they do serve a purpose

This Jeep would have rolled to the right and flopped had that stinger not stopped him. I had a great view all the way around....I was the Jeep next in line and I am the Jeep pulling him out.

If you want to protect your winch get a bumper with a winchguard hoop.

If you do trails where you risk front roll overs get a Stinger.

If you are really just concerned about what the "in crowd" thinks is cool continue asking opinions on online forums.

This stuff is new to me. Stingers just look ridiculous to me, BUT if they really do offer a good amount of protection then I think I will get one. If they are mainly just for front rollovers I just don't know. Im just confussededed. But the winchguard hoop might be more what im looking for.

We do not do many stingers anymore, but we do a bunch of the winch protector/tube guards on our front bumpers. They angle forward 10-15 degrees, but we can do whatever you want, too.
