Talking Added a stinger to my homemade bumper

Finally got my stinger on, just in time for Moab. I had some buddies that build tube buggies (Tim and Bubba Bacon) bend and weld it on for me. When I get back, we are going to add a grill hoop and then flat fenders from the grill hoop to the rocker guards. As well as beef up the rocker guards.

Here is the thread where I built the initial bumper.

You can just see it over the hood... I had one on a previous Jeep that was below the hood line and you couldn't judge distance on it.

That's sharp! Nice bumper/stinger/Jeep. I almost wish that I had done that before I bought the Mopar bumper.


This thread is back from the dead. Now I have a custom Stinger....

I tried cutting them with a hole saw... but burned the saw up. My next door neighbor works in a metal fab shop, he took it to work with him and they cut it out. I'm not sure what they used.
