Default What's the purpose of the stinger bumper
I have a basic question, what's the purpose of the stinger bumpers??? I understand the smaller the size might be for better access on rocks,obstacles and maybe driving through tight areas, but what is the use of the tall bar on top of the bumper?
I like how it looks in general and adds more aggressive looks to the jeep as a whole.

I believe its for steep descent's, so that when your driving down a steep cliff you do not roll forward. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

That pictured kinda sums it up. The idea is for it to allow the Jeep to tip to one side or the other, vs landing on the roof.
