Default Stubby Stinger suggestions.

Have about 500-600 for a stubby stinger. Any thoughts on which way to go? After trying to look around it;s impossible to make up my mind from the 100 different types. Would like a stinger that sticks out above the hood.

Same boat as you! I have seen lots of guys running the LOD stubby stinger. I like the way it looks and have not heard anything about it. EVO also makes a stubby stinger!

If you have factory fog lights and want to retain them it could help narrow your choices.

If you want a winch that will also narrow your search.

Stubbies vary in coverage so that can be used as a decision point as well. (not all protect the entire grill)

Lastly, if you want a true bolt on that will cut the choices. (ie read the install pdfs)

I'm looking at the xrc as well. If money wasn't an option P/S has a few.

Shot from the driver's seat -I'm 6'3, so it might look different depending on how tall you are.

If you go this route, you have to do this to your frame rails:

I don't know why but I thought they were a lot more than that. Not to hijack this thread but anyone have a pic of the PSC brawler on a JK?

i love the look of the LOD stinger

the orfab stinger looks very awkward, the angle of the stinger is so mellow it looks more like its protruding forward instead of upwards
