Stubby vs full width bumpers

Thats all mine is, I just cut and welded, boxed In the ends, threw a pice of c channel on it, and then some d rings. Done for now, and for about $20 plus the d rings. It was just a rush job so I could get the winch on it before a snow wheeling trip, but I ended up leaving it on. Laziness I guess.

I think I'm going to throw a stinger on it too, the only reason I haven't is cause of garage door clearance once I back in! Haha

Simple and functional, I'm not quite that handy. Guess I need to learn welding!

I don't think there is such a thing as too young! No sarcasm here either! As soon as my daughter could, I've had her in the garage with me! She's almost 3 now, and she can pull out my turn signals and just about anything I give her the right wrench/ screwdriver for and re-install them correctly! I think it's great, but every now and then she steals a nut or bolt and I have to scour the garage for it! It's my favorite time that I get to spend with her, and she loves it!

And I've even let her drive my jeep at the dunes too!

She will be my personal mechanic by the time she's 10!

Way to go dad great video!
 
Amazon has the rampage stubby for $343...I like how it looks! Anyone run this one? I know the ones who has the full size love it. Thoughts?

I don't see why it would be any worse. It's a solid piece of steel so if you like the looks I can't think of a reason not to run it other than weight (if you care.) it's probably 50-60lbs.

Just threw a stinger on mine last night. This thread got me wondering why I didn't have one..... So now I do. Nothing fancy, just threw some .140 wall into the bender and burned it on there....

I do plan on adding some, I already have the plan of where and how, it was just 8 pm last night when I burned this on and I have a neighbor who get his panties in a bunch about noise! I'll get something on there. But I bet I could lift the front of the truck by it the way it is!
