Never personally seen someone use one but have seen videos were they are used. I like the way they look

Watch the MOAB : Pilgrimage to the Promised Land Part 4 of 6 (Metal Masher Jeep Trail)

Link to the Video

Goto minute marker 5:26 and watch how a rear stinger wouldve helped in this situation.

Do you see that this is for a YJ wrangler? While something like this would likely provide some protection, the purpose of a stinger is to prevent rollover. I have seen a few rigs with rear stingers, they are few and far between. You are a lot less likely to get into a situation where you are going to flip over backwards.

Unless you are in the bathtub at Moab.
