To stinger or not to stinger?

Shopping for a new set of bumpers for my newly acquired 14 JKU. I understand the purpose of the stinger, but wonder how practical they are. Has one ever saved you? What are your thoughts?

Could save you, but rarely are they needed. They aren’t practical, but some people like there looks.

Welcome to Wayalife.

It’s more a personal preference.

If that's you in the picture, you definitely need one.

Their main purpose is to prevent a rollover caused by shifting vehicle weight when descending a steep incline. Should an offroad truck end up off-balanced to the point where a nose rollover becomes imminent, the stinger bar interferes.

That's what the long skinny pedal on the right is for.

Of course you have to have the grey matter engaged and make sure not to use the short fat pedal in a panic.

Actually the point is to protect the radiator in the event of a rollover to allow the vehicle to be driven back out.

I thought is was an attachment point to launch water balloons...oh and to hang lights and shit...

It’s obviously for popping the balloons when you’re playing mariokart battle!

I hope to not have to test that theory yet again

Is it FabFours definition or Poison Spyder's definition?? :crazyeyes: I would say both are correct.

The most mine gets used for it pushing and running over down trees

Personally I like the look but also I feel it saved my radiator when I plowed a deer going 55mph at 10pm near June lake on hwy 395.

The picture was borrowed from google images, not my JKU.
I appreciate the insight. I still don’t know which direction to go. I will continue to look around.

I prefer the bull bar style. Gives you protection without having to stare at a big ass triangle in front of you all the time. But we don’t have rocks here, depends what you want to do if you need the flop protection.
