Bumper talk

[GTJake]

heres the thread for this topic. sorry for hijacking the WP thread haha.


heres what i like as far as a stinger...

[smichaelR22]

how are you going to make that look at all descent on a daily driven XJ?

[MrMindless]

That entirely depends on your definition of decent, I think.

[GTJake]

why are you hating on stingers? i like them. its just something different than everyone else.

[fedrusion]

They are also good for removing rear windows on slow cars and minivans. I think i would need one a little shorter.

[fedrusion]

This is one that I like for reference:

i like the second one, but without the hitch mount.

[GTJake]

my plan is to get my large T square and some cardboard and lots of tape and make one to use as a template

i wouldnt go with glass fender, only because you can pound dents out of metal, glasss cracks...

i like that stinger you poasted. we can make a bumper, then you can put a pre runner on yours and i can put a stinger on mine

[MassiveAttack]

I like stingers for hard core rock crawling, but before you go for a really big high stinger, consider the safety risk involved in daily driving. If you hit anything from the front, there a greatly improved chance that you\'ll end up flipping/rolling in the air like that unnamed cop car in a cheesy 80\'s car chase scene. There great for keeping rigs from flopping head first on steep drops, but there a lot of money to spend as well.

[GTJake]

were building it, not buying one.

i understand the risk.
