Website says approx 65lbs. I didnt weigh it but had no problems at all throwing it on/off the jeep by myself. We removed a warn rockrawler the other day and it was nearly impossible to manuver alone. The smittybilt short stinger that replaced the warn was lighter but still heavier than this bumper. If i remember to bring the scale home from work tommorow i will weigh it and post results.

Shipping weight said 90lbs with the skid plate/bumper/packing materials/hardware

Does anyone have any pics of the pre-runner style? I am torn between the pre-runner and the stinger now after looking at those 2 stinger pics. Decisions decisions........... I guess it is good to have these kind of decisions to make . It could be worse.

Default More Stinger

Here are a few pictures of my finished stinger. I was torn between the two as well...
I really like the idea of being able to mount lights to the pre-runner.
Either way you can't go wrong. I mounted a winch today, but am a bit unhappy with the vendor that sold it to me, so I'm going to hold off on posting pics.

I like the matching grill is that bedliner? What kind of winch did you go with, I am getting ready to order one of those also.

Yes its a DIY bed liner called raptor liner(spray on) Did the bumper/ grill at the same time. I ordered a Recon 10.5k waterproof winch with synthetic line.

Its not the winch itself. The winch seems fine, but I appear to have received some sort of demo model from them. There were all sorts of scuffs where it mounts and on the fairlead. I called then emailed them detailed photos, but have yet to receive a response on the photos. I know it will get scuffed from normal use, but I paid for a new unit.
I am impatient and mounted the winch tonight after they closed and I realized they wouldn't respond today.

I will take a picture of the winch mounted tomorrow, just don't have too many positive things to say about truck and winch at the moment

Here's a picture with the winch. I don't think you can go wrong with it... I have read nothing but positive reviews.
I haven't had much time to play with it, but it spools much faster than the smittybilt XRC8 that I helped install on another jk a few weeks ago.
