What Is a Front Bumper Stinger For?

A stinger-style bumper is a type of front bumper manufactured for use on off-roading vehicles. They are called stinger bumpers because their pointed design lends them the appearance of an insect stinger.

Function

  • Front stinger bumpers are designed to prevent the vehicle they're attached to from flipping forward in the event of a wreck. They are manufactured as off-road accessories that can be attached to and detached from a vehicle's existing bumper.

Other Advantages

  • Though designed to prevent one specific type of crash, front stinger bumpers can prove useful in other situations as well. In the event of a front-end collision, a stinger bumper offers valuable additional protection for the radiator.

Cost

  • The average cost of a front stinger bumper is approximately $400. As with all products, prices vary from seller to seller. It is important to research both the seller and the manufacturer before making a final purchase.
