Well the thread Im thinking about didnt have that many Pre runner bumpers that were to differant from what you posted, but I think this one looks awesome, although I would flare out the base of the stinger, to right where the bottom tube starts its bend upwards.

I like this bumper but would like 2 bars going across the bottom. If I got one made maybe this would be it.
