I know what beer is not supposed to taste like.....moose piss.jk. Can't we all just bring our own brew, and not have to do the "which beer is better" debate? I like micro brew, I think the thing with the Fat Tire we get over here, is that it's supposed to be enjoyed at 8500feet, not at sea level. Don't quote me on that, I'm from California, and I have no idea what I'm talking about, but thats OK here. Some of the local micro brews around here are pretty good, and some are just nasty motor oil beer. I'm no expert(I haven't finished college yet), but I can appreciate a nice cold one. I'm not quite sure what all this has to do with stinger bumpers, but I'm gonna rig up a keg-erator to the front of it, and do nose wheelies in my 4Runner.

Me and my cousin made it, he is a damn good fabricator and this was our first project with the new pro tools 105 bender and notcher... and it came out great i think...
It's fully TIG welded, and there is also a winch mount that goes on the frame, but is not installed right now as i dont have the spare $ for a nice winch...the tabs in the middle hold driving lights.. i'll get some painted pics next week for you guys... more pics http://s148.photobucket.com/albums/s35/Greg_Canada/?

If you want one of these bumpers we can build one for you, price depends on material/complexity...

thanks for the kind words guys....

FWIW, I live about 2 blocks from the New Belgium Brewery, and I really don't like Fat Tire. Now, Skinny Dip is another matter all together. I do love PBR, though.
On another item, who in Northern Colorado can help me swap my 22re?

Thanks to all
Brian

So is it only supported by the crossbeam in the front?

Greg_Canada

Mine is, yes, but i didnt want to cut up any sheetmetal to do some closer to the frame. I have a few more ideas as well, just this was our first bumper.
Do you have any more ideas for mounting options? This is how most bumpers mount, and suprisingly, it does not rattle/jiggle on the highway/over bumps, it's very solid. But if this was a dedicated offroad rig, i would build an engine cage and solidly mount the bumper to it through the grill.

That was my only concern that if it took a lot of abuse, the corners might start to come in. But overall I really like it.

where can i order one of the stinger bumpers for a 95 runner

Lysmachia

You should start a thread about this and make sure you put CO - in the title - then we can talk about helping you in the new thread.

Greg_Canada

When you say corners, do you mean sides?
I layed the whole truck on teh side (got hit in a low speed rollover) and the bumper took the full weight of the truck. fender got pushed in and a-pillar got pushed in 1.5"... bumper is still straight.... so im not worried about that....

KevinInSac

Well then I eat my words and take back any doubts I had about your bumper.

Lysmachia

I found another good use for my stinger... to haul fire wood for camping....

naadomail

Ha Ha, Nice wood

Lysmachia

Yeah I thought so..... for a chick and all... I drove those logs 1 mile up hall valley 4x4 trail too!

aviator

As an alternative you could have simply put a timberhitch on the logs and dragged them behind the truck... for thems of us as don't has no stinger haha...
what happened molly? no mollywhomping this time?

tc

It was kinda far and really rocky, plus the wood was pretty rotten. I don't think we would have had much left if she tried to drag it.

Lysmachia

It was too cold to stradle that stinger!!!!


So I let the wood mollywhomp it instead!

johnsenpa

ummm considering I was just balancing on my front truss the other day with my ass end up in the air, I do believe their is a reason for stingers and I am now in the market for one.......double bend stinger though,,, I dont like the single bend stingers much
