    Those are great looking bumpers. I like it with and also w/o the stinger. either way, with is probably more useful in the sticks with lights. Nice work as usual. Could always do it bolt on and add it as a option they could do later if they wanted.

    My bumper has a tiny hoop but it has protected the grill area of my truck when i slid into a tree down hill that probably would have hit th grill before the bumper. I like it!

    IMO plate bumpers don't look good with a center hoop because the tubing looks out of place. They look good on tube bumpers though, but I voted "no" because this thread was specific to plate bumpers. Although if you were going to mount a lot of lights a center hoop would be practical/functional.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge, but what's the point of a "stinger"? I've primarily only seen Jeeps with them.
