Default Stinger rear bumper

I don't know if that is exactly what they are called but I have seen it on here and at sema pictures. Was wondering if anybody could tell me where to get one

Evo makes one too. I think they are definitely meant more for carrying a tire while having some protection around the rear of the vehicle.

I like the Evo and the gen right, and will hopefully get one or the other.

Evo might have some pics of there's on the site, I know there were pics in the sema thread.

Man did not know they were that expensive. That's two bumpers you have to buy. That will take alot of saving.

I see you're from Springfield. I'd go talk to Kevin over at 4 Wheelers Supply on Chestnut Expressway. He's built some sick Jeeps and can help. And although Poison Spyder never released their rear JK stinger, he modified a TJ one to go on a JK.

Other than that, like people have said, Genright is probably your only other option. I don't think Evo released their rear stinger yet either. (at least, it's not on their website)

Something to think about is to consider how it attaches to the rear tub. I can't remember if any of the manufactured ones swing to the side, and if they do, how it is attached to the tub. When I was designing my rear bumper, I thought hard about a rear stinger. I came to the conclusion that opening up the rear gate could become a chore every time I wanted to access the cargo area, particularly if towing my jeep trailer, therefore I went with a swing away style.

It may work great for individual needs, just not ideal for my own use.

Regards,

Walker
