Smittybilt front stingers are developed and throughly tested in the most extreme conditions. They are hand crafted to exacting specifications using DOM 1020 2 inch tubing which is one of the strongest materials available.Each stinger base is manufactured out of 3/16 inch cold rolled steel with reinforced gussets and solid D-Ring mounts that are welded on the inside and outside for a maximum strength. All of the Stinger products come in the signature series Textured matte black finish and come with a 5-year limited warranty. When youre looking for the most ground clearance and want a stinger that can withstand the most hostile environments look to Smittybilt to provide you the very best in stinger technology.
Ordered and received a few days later than expected, went to install and the bumper had been placed in packing while powdercoat was still wet and caused chipping on the black texture. Some of the craftsmanship on the gusset welds were way off. The stinger gussets stuck out almost 1/4" away from the tubing.. It was so sharp they cut my finger. I emailed smittybilt with pictures of the QC issues and they sent me a new bumper that day.. Customer service was amazing. Not to mention the 4WP customer service was on top of my order and made sure to keep in contact with me every step of the way. This could've went alot worse but smittybilt made it right, and very promptly. The new bumper is spot on.
Awesome upgrade to jeep very strong. The powder coating is very thick. Will get years out of this bumper. Nice upgrade. Can see the top of hoop from inside the jeep so you dont crush other vehicles.
Install is pretty simple just have a friend to help hold it.
The bumper is as described and looks great. However, the instructions aren’t clear. The skid plate must be bolted on before installation of the bumper, and mounting the winch is much easier accomplished before the bumper is mounted as well.
Mounting was easy. Previous owner had installed a tow bar so most of the holes were already drilled. Great fit. Powder coating tough and no mistakes that I’d found. Well packaged.
Looks amazing, nice heavy feel, makes the Jeep feel tighter and more secure.
Super easy to install and has one of the best looks
I really love this bumper and I really gets the looks
Q: Will a 10000lb winch fit in the slot? Answer this question
A: I mounted a 9500lb Rough Country in mine. Tight fit and I had to mount the winch before mounting the bumper. There was not enough room to tighten the bolts otherwise.
