Stinger all the way. Looks cool and its functional. Plus you can see it so you know just how far away from the wall you are

If you get a stinger, get one that's big enough diameter to actually WORK. Anything less is just for poser purposes.

IMO, stingers look like crap. Huge nose pointing outwards for no reasons at all, unless you wheel that hard to roll end over end going forward. If you want something to stick out, get a hoop, at most. Again, in my opinion.

You've got a great shot of exactly why you want to put the soft top on when you do runs like the Escalator. Looks like a pretty recent shot... Wish I could spend more time in Utah

My wife thought she would have parking issues with our JK and the stinger, so after the Rubicon I was prepared to put the old bumper with hoop back on. Now she actually likes it better because it does give you a better visual of how close you are to objects. The kids of course think it looks cool.

Good Luck,

Yates
