What's with the stinger?
Off on tricked-out rigs the front winch bumper has a loop extending out into the wild-blue yonder.

Why?

come off a steep ledge and put it on the front 2 tires, and tell me u dont want a stinger then. also good for ramming some a-holes tailgate.

At least on 4Runners isn't the departure angle much worse than the attack? I would think if you actually needed one of these on the front end, your rear end is going to take a killer beating when it catches up.

Yep. It's there to keep you from flipping end over end when you're coming down steep stuff nose first.

... yet another benefit of a beefy aftermarket rear bumper.

Ah, okay, that makes sense now. It's so far out of the scope of my ride style I guess I just couldn't imagine it!

..of course now I want one!
