Default RC stinger on a stock bumper?

I was wondering it this stinger could be mounted on a stock bumper, looks like the mounting holes would line up with the four bolts that hold on the stock tow hooks. i know there would have to be some cutting done to the plastic cover to make it work, Any insight would help thanks

With a little drilling, cutting, and heavy duty bolts, I don't see why not.. Depending on how wide those mounts are apart, the stock bumper may need to be cut on the front where the bumps are.. I also foresee the tow hooks having to come off.. Whatever the case you need to mount it in such a way that it is sturdy enough to pull the whole rig by it.. Remember: If there's a will, there's a way!! Please do a write-up if you decide to do this.. Should be interesting!!

Sure it would work you will have to remove the bumper and take crush cans off. Then slot the plastic from the stock tow hooks back so that you can slip the plastic back over the metal subframe and stinger.

This is a rough country stinger for their stubby bumper.
