JK intro

[zac001]

Well im new to owning a CJ5 but ive had my 2011 JK for a little over a year now, we bought it with less than 10,000 miles on it and just last month we gave it a little overhaul to fit our style and taste.

Just thought id share it here.

Looks great. I'm gonna get a front bumper for my 2012 soon. May get a less massive version of the stinger you have.

Looks better with mud on it.

Just a question for my curiosity, not a personal dig, more of a survey. Why did you put a stinger on the front? Will you be traversing ice crevices or pre-running baja; which is what they are for. I could never figure out why people put them on when they are of no use, but cost so much.

Those are for putting a smile on your (and my) face. I feel the same about snorkels, especially on newer Jeeps. My JK has enough electrical problems without submerging the entire system which would no doubt lead to endless additional problems.

For the wheeling I do, stingers would likely cause way more problems than they would solve and I don't like the looks of them either. But it's sort of a free world and one can spend their bucks anyway they want.

I put a Warn Elite front bumper on my 12-with no stinger or bull bar. Not too heavy and has worked perfect. Can't say the same for the Rock Slide Engineering piece of CR-- on the rear.
