I know this thread is old... but! Just wanted to share an updated photo of my DIY rear stinger.
1. added side supports there.
2. re-created the latch points out of thicker steel.
3. Added bolts where the old latch point was- much thicker now!
2 trips to Moab (6 total days of hard terrain), 26 trails in Colorado and she's still holding very strong!
I may be re-doing the rear bumper portion of it just to make it wrap around the rear 1/4 panel plastic, but IDK for sure yet!
