Is "ass over tea kettle" a true Jeep term????????

If you have two Jeep's with stingers you can park them nose to nose and hang your hammok between them ... proper use!

Love it! And must try =D However, if it takes two Jeeps to make a sleeping spot for one person... that's a bit of a problem!
Maybe stinger plus tree?

Not if your girl is a Jeeper as well, then you can share the hammock.

WOW. So I stumbled upon the title of this thread and was simply going to ask what the benefits of the stinger style bumper would be. I clicked this video straight away and DAMN. Is all I have to say.

Bottom line. .. I'm getting a stinger bumper.

Thank you and good day.


Thanks for the post Krynn
