**** still aint done. I need to go to my uncles and finish welding it with his mig.

in the pic it is just sitting there sorta nothing done. I have a mount now tacked in place. I need to recess it more but that will come late i just need to get it on for now. o and get a couple braces for the stinger




BTW.. this is the bumper that used to be on Kevin's (2002fx4) ranger.

 

wow that thing is high as hell...

looks decent tho

 

Not my cup of tea, but whatever floats you boat works for me.

 

i think it looks good

 

your gonna scare all the little cars on the road

 

its getting there. seems like its sticking out too far though

 

dang tht thing is huge

 

Yea it is just sitting there is will be back another ~3" and dropped down another ~1-2".

 

nice man! does Kevin have another bumper in the works or already done??

 

dude i dont understand why anyone likes those i think they look like a pimple on a fat hoses a$$ but w.e your truck. i just dont like it but again its your truck.

 

Yes he does. youll have to look in his threads for pics of it.

 

I like it!

 

sweet man

 

Way too big for my taste but as long as you like it, thats all that matters.

 

dude, an FX5???? i wanna see one of those!

 

fixed. FX4

 

sorry just thought id point it out, i like the bumper! just some paint and those adjustments you were talking about and it will be sweet!

 

i was just wondering what the purpose of that thing is? Looks? or there some sort of advantage to having something stick that far up on the front of a truck?

 

Damn Donny, its about time you got a pic of it on your truck like that! I only now notice just how much taller that stinger is than the one I have. Now - git 'r done and mounted. Lets see some nice welds since you'll be using a MIG.


I've heard a few reasons to the purpose behind a stinger. A few would involve a front-end roll-over. If this should happen, the stinger (should) not only keep you from rolling end over end directly onto you're roof, but rather divert the vehicle to one of its sides. The other would be to keep the front of the vehicle, where the radiator and such is, from being crushed.

 

Isn't that what a normal bumper does, far better then any of these stinger styles? Can't replace some good cold bar's with a couple tubes

 

yea ima try to get it finished today, but since ive been at school all weekend i might just chill with my friends today....
'
ill keep yall updated on the progress. im slow at "progress"

 

ive never been a big fan of stinger bumpers nice build tho looks good

 

sticks to far out, its too tall and too vertical. Make a new shorter stinger hoop and connect it to the main bumper not those extensions and it would be sweet.

more like this.

 

^^^^^dude, does that jeep have an engine?

 

Look closer....Its an RC car, the stinger on it just explains what I was talking about.
