I believe it serves a purpose as in the event of your vehicle flipping over, the stinger sticking above your hood would prevent from crushing your hood and taking out your radiator and other important things..

Helps in a roll over but in my case when the stinger hits the rocks before my tires it tells me "Hey dumbass that's too intense for you!" lol

I just got mine put on yesterday with a winch. I hope it saves my radiator in the event of an "indo". I like to push myself/rig, so if this does happen, I can hopefully drive off the trail.

Mine keeps people from cutting me off. Hasn't happened once since I got it. Plus it looks like a giant bona.
