Hello,
This is going to be a review about the SmittyBilt XRC front Stinger I got for my 1992 Jeep Wrangler.
Shipping and packaging:
When the bumper arrived at my front door step, it was in a much larger box then i thought it was going to be in, roughly 4'H x 4'W x 1.5'D, so it was a rather large box. Once I got the box open, I couldn't even see the bumper, it was wrapped in cardboard, Styrofoam and saram wrap which took quite a bit of cutting to get unpacked. So there is no way the bumper can be damaged during shipping.
My Intial Thoughts:
Once I got it unpacked and finally got to look at it, you can really tell this bumper is strong. Its painted with a textured powder-coat that seems to be very durable. I inspeceted all the welds, they are all done mechanically, and look as tho they are very strong and wont fatigue or fail. Now time to bolt it on.
Mounting
Before I got this bumper, I had heard that some people have been having a hard time getting this bumper to fit, well that was not the case with me, it bolted right on, holes lined up just fine. The bolt holes are a little large, but they include two(2) washers so it was very easy to secure. The Bumper includes 2 spots for D-rings. All in all it was very easy to mount this bumper, it took about 20 minutes to mount, and that includes removing my old one, so it literally bolts right on, at least it did on my YJ.
Mounting Lights
One thing the bumper as lacking was holes for Offroad lights, I had two lights on my old bumper. so, I drilled holes in the flat plate between the hoop on the stinger, for two 7" lights, which fit perfectly and i think it turned out very nice.
Final Thoughts
For a great looking stinger at a great price, this is an awesome bumper. I highly recommend it. I couldnt find any bad things about this bumper. It looks good and im sure it performs as good as it looks when the time comes ( which hopfully you will never need to use a stinger ). I have nothing bad to say about this bumper, it really is all good things.
