Im looking for a trail stinger bumper for my new JK. I ran the Poison spyder rock brawler lite with brawler bar first then upgraded to the Poison spyder BFH trail stinger on my last JK. I really liked the trail stinger and this round i want the same look but im looking for some pictures of people that have them mounted and for one that some day can mount up a warn power plant.

options im looking at right now are

New LOD destroyer stubby stinger (called them today and the plate gussets will interfere with the Power plant but they are working on adjusting it, if i buy it now eventually when i get the power plant i may be able to knotch the gusset to fit but i dont want to compromise the integrity of the bumper)

evo 1/4 lb I know this will fit the power plant and has the stinger style i like but im not a huge fan of the boxy bumper look

Poison spyder rock brawler trail stinger (not a fan of the tube steel gusset i would rather have the plate steel and when i talked to them it will mount the power plant if you drill new holes an inch or 2 to the side so it doesnt hit the tube gusset)

best option right now i have seen is the Crawler Conceptz ultra series, I love the look of that bumper just like the poison spyder and LOD and it has the plate gusset on the stinger that i like and according to them it will mount the power plant without modification BUT the stinger looks more narrow than the other options and im not sure i like that but i havent found a ton of pictures of it mounted to really see how it looks.

maybe some other USA made options and pictures of the 4 mentioned above would be greatly appreciated :thumb:
 
the quarter pounder if for sure a great option and i know it will mount any winch i end up with

still really hoping to find some pictures of people running the crawler conceptz ultra series stinger???

the CC is the one i really want as long as it will mount a power plant and the more narrow stinger doesnt look funky

Honestly, with a PowerPlant, I might recommend that you look at bumpers that allow the winch to be mounted down low and in between the frame rails. Bumpers that have it mounted on top will cause the PowerPlant to pretty much block your entire grill and I have seen this cause overheating issues on long grades especially on JK's with a 3.6L motor.

This was at speeds around 100+ mph as well right?

Yeah its looking more and more like I am going to be getting a power plant. As much as I like the CC bumper I think I need to go the route with it mounted low inside the bumper. So far I like the quater pounder the best for the inside mount
