Thumbs up Looking to get modify Hard Rock bumper

So trying to decide if it's worth getting a stinger/ mini stinger. need help on deciding; pics, comments and recommendation are welcomed please.
Also cant be anything that sticks out crazy far since street parking in NYC is a thing.
Thank You.



My current jeep looking to keep the hard rock bumper

I have Poison Spyder's BFH bumper with the trail stinger. It really doesn't stick out terribly far and I actually find it very useful as a parking marker since you can see exactly where the front-most point of the jeep is. I wouldn't worry about city parking, I do it all the time. This is the best picture I have handy for a side view

So it looks like your stinger is more like the Recon one. right? since it's higher than the grill

It looks closer to the recon, yeah. Mine is probably somewhere in the middle of those two.

Ah ok sounds good so do you use your stinger for anything particularly? Or just for that extra protection and/or looks good?

Stingers are all about looks. His BFH will do more/offer more protection than a bolt-on (like the HardRock options you listed).

Anyone who says they bought their stinger to "prevent the Jeep from tipping/flipping forwards" is full of sh*t and has no real wheeling experience. I like how mine allows me to see the limits of my JK. This is especially helpful for parallel parking in D.C.
