Anyone Running a Stinger on 5th Gen? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

I love stinger bumpers, but I’m not seeing any on a 5th gen. I should be getting my SSO Hybrid in a few weeks, but I’m already thinking down into the future running a full metal bumper with a stinger.

Anyone have one they can post up in action? Like to see how it looks.

I don't think you'll find many/any. There's no reason to have one functionally. The body structure doesn't collapse in a roll over. And the engine/radiator are rarely damaged. So the purposes of a stinger don't really apply in any way I can think of.

I hear you. I’m still surprised I haven’t seen any on a 5th gen. Was going to get a Demello Evil Eye on my FJ with a stinger, but life had other plans with my FJ.

I might have to go that route when I’m ready. A LT suspension kit with a nice offset will give me the aggressiveness I want.
