I voted yes. BUT, only if you buy a useful one and have a use for it! If it will not support the weight of your jeep on its nose or stout enough help in climbing a wall....it goes into the poser category to me.

I first hand have seen the RR modular with a stinger smash up when trying to use it to climb an obsticle.

I did the same thing with a stock front bumper frame and received less damage to the bumper.

I am sorry if I am hijacking the thread, but I to am looking to get a new front bumper w/winch and was wondering if somebody could tell me how far out a stinger would stick out. My garage barely fits my unlimited in it now.

The Smittybilt stinger sticks out 23 and 1/2 inches from the "JEEP" emblem on the grill.
