I know its mime, i just always hit n first for some reason. I don't think its an addicted cause the the tubing below the hoop is bent the other way and there are no support pieces for the hoop.

This may sound line a dumb question, but what is the purpose if the tall front bar that leans out at an angle?

 

[Jaevick]

As an aside, can anyone educate me on the function of an enormous front hoop like that? Is it just for looks or is it supposed to do something i haven't thought of?

Called stingers. They're to help you from rolling over forward. A lot of jeeps have them, and they only work about half the time. The hoop hits the ground and is supposed to prevent you from going end over end.

I texted him and he said the shop was JD's Automotive. Guy named James.

And as stated, the stinger is to prevent endo-ing.

For my sake it's to keep cows and deer off my hood and windshield.

Sorry to say, but if you hit a cow that bumper wouldn't do you any good.

It's also good for pushing smalls trees and bushes out of the way if you offroading in woods.
