Title: A steal on Fab Fours Stinger Bumpers !
Post by: DOUG on April 25, 2008, 03:40:46 PM
They are $685 and $795 at Quadratec, and a little less on Ebay, and this dealer is blowing out old inventory below cost!
$300 for the stubby and $350 for the wider model.  I love the look.
Call Kara at 866.626.9440 in Parts if you are interested.

Oops, I don't want to steal his thunder, but I think he decided to go with this one for now for low cost as he has so many mods he wants to do before Tellico.

I'm torn between the 2, and deciding which one is best for me.  I much prefer the depth and strength of the lifestyle with full width, as I plan to keep this Jeep with full fenders, but wonder if I'll ever cut the fenders and wish I had the stubby hardcore..........

I like the stubbys just because there is no interference for obsticles. You hit the tire first, not the bumper. Hopefully none of us will have to use the stinger for what it was made for.

My fear is "hit the fender" first.  I'm thinking the wider bumper should protect me.

You didn't steal my thunder. You hooked me up!!! 1 Karma for the great deal, and another one for ordering me a new mounting plate since this wasn't the right one!  ;)   I can't wait to get stuck!!!   ;D

So the part number for this mounting plate says that it will fit MOST TJs...... riiiiiiigggghhhhttt.....

So when it's centered between the frame rails it has 3 inches on either side before it meets the mounting holes. So that means that it won't fit ANY TJs.  :D  Not too big a deal. Doug is shipping a TJ plate to me. You're the bomb!!! Thanks again man. Here's a couple pics of the winch plate. The second one has the holes lined up on one side and the picture is taken of how much it has to go on the other side:

Yeah, the Smittybilt XRC8. She seems pretty darn stout, and from what I've read, they're holding up well. They're just a little slow, but I can live with that. No, no, no... this didn't help my capabilities. I don't plan on being stupid now that I have a winch.  ;D But I am glad that I can do it myself and don't have to bum cable off all you guys.  :P I was planning on doing a one inch spacer all the ay around this summer, but I think I'm gonna have to do a 2" in the front. These things are heavy!!!

80+ pounds. You gotta get synthetic eventually. I saved almost 30#s! 2" will be good. Give you 5" lift, just longer shocks and brake lines and you is good.

Thanks for the kind words Will, and sorry about the delay.  It's damn shame they don't know what they are saying, unless they meant it will fit some TJ's if you have some steel and a welder!  Look at what they have on the 4wp website, fits MOST TJ's.... Has your TJ been narrowed?  Man, that's a whole new mod none of us were thinking about!  :D

Anybody need a "Universal winchplate" before I return it?  :D
