If you plan on using that stinger, you may want to triangulate it back to the bumper with another smaller piece.

It may be on there good, but it'll bend the tube or break the welds if you put frontal force on it. Triangulate it and you won't have to worry.

Looks good Anton!

Helps you spot your nose location a bit better too when on tight trails.

Lets hope you never need it for what it's designed for... Image :shock:
