Yeah, I was surprised that I like it a lot even without the stinger. It has been sitting in my garage for weeks, I wish I had put it on sooner...
These boots are made for walking.......

Song reminds me of a scene from my favorite movie. FMJ.
I keep hearing about these "bolts" being a pain!!!! Templar, take some pictures for reference when you do it.

Thanks bud
When I read your post I knew your handle sounded familiar - and there it is, it was your DIY doors thread, those things rock I started looking for welding classes in my neck of the woods after seeing what you accomplished but unfortunately nothing like that around here :doh: Very cool build you are doing too, love the 3rd row seating you did and also the 3rd row Rock Hard cage too. :thumb:

Thanks for the heads up, I will be sure to do that and had no idea the stinger could be a pain, I figured it would be a piece of cake
I wonder if I should have test fitted it, and drilled it before sending it off to get powder coated... too late now :doh:

Will do for sure!
I think they look better trimmed and back in there. Looking good

More progress made yesterday / early this morning. I picked up my stinger from the powder coaters, and then we had a storm here last night that cooled it off big time so I took advantage and worked on the Jeep until about 2 AM this morning.
I finished trimming the passenger inner fender. I screwed up on a cut and had to epoxy the hard plastic piece together before proceeding tonight. The epoxy worked great and I am happy with the results.
My other screw up from the weekend was I tried painting my spare SLAB Ring. I used a rustoleum Satin and it turned out too Shiny, I did not feel it matched the rest of the wheel so last night I stripped the paint off and gave it a good scrub down with a scotch-brite pad. Based on some posts here I am going to try VHT Satin and hope the color match to the wheel is as good others have said.
Last but not least, I partially mounted the stinger (2 holes drilled, 4 to go).
I can see what some others have talked about regarding the height (or lack thereof) of the stinger. Not complaining about it, because I really like it, I am just mentioning that it is not as tall as the last stinger I had on my 08. I took a picture from eye level from inside the cab. I am attaching a in cab photo from my 08 for comparison.

why is there so much of a difference with your new stinger and old one?
