I have an ARB Combination Bull Bar Front Bumper on my Jeep but I was thinking about changing it up and getting myself a Smittybilt XRC M.O.D. Stinger front bumper? What do you fellow Jeepers think?

 

Love my smitty stinger

 

As far as stinger or not, that's a matter of personal taste. My own personal taste is, I don't care for them. I suspect most folks who put them on don't wheel where one is useful for its intended purpose (survive forward rollovers), but do wheel where having one poking out front is a disadvantage (any tight trails).

As far as quality: No comparison. I've helped install Smittybilt gear, and cussed at it while forcing it to fit. I've also helped install some great ARB gear. There is no comparison.

 

My front and rear bumpers are smittybilt as well as my side steps. They are pretty good quality and I never had any issues getting them on. I personally like the looks of smittybilt armor. I love the textured finish they put on them to. Its a very durable finish.

 

IMO stingers only look good on heavily modded jeeps. Like on the KOH type stuff. To me they just seem out of place on an everyday Jeep. But of course that is just my opinion.

 

Smittybilt is cheap stuff, no comparison to ARB.
