Damn, on the bumper of it.

Tow point and nosedive protection.

>Tow point
I thought that's what recovery hooks were for?

To destroy rears of shitboxes. And help with rolling when going down from steep obstacle.

Directs an animal down rather than up through the grill or your windshield

More options, more convenient, owner likes the look it gives the vehicle, take your pick.

It prevents the vehicle from flipping over forward when coming down an incline.

Does it make sense to have on longer vehicles like Wrangler Unlimited?

So you can wrap your winch line around it

what other people said about towing and winching and animals
also protects the radiator

all wrong.

It's rice.

Yeah, that's not a tow point, and bad things will happen if you use that as a tow point.
This.
It also aids if you're trying to climb a sheer embankment, as in it helps lifts the front end as opposed to impacting it.

boy theres something sexy anout making your car look like a giant fucking bottle opener

needs a locker

You'll see that on other off roader vehicles to stop the nose from a total faceplant on a sharply inclined ditch.

It's used on desert racers to take the blow from hard nose dives, however on that particular jeep it's fucking useless.

more stinger usage in the dez

for poking the spare tyre mounted to the back of the vehicle in front of you when at a red light

The original purpose of similar structures (a stinger) is to prevent rolling forward on a steep decline.

This one lacks the structure for that, so it's just for aesthetics.

>tow point
No, that would be the red hooks next to it on the bumper. Using a stinger for a tow point offers no advantage over using a tow hook. However it does increase leverage on the mounts resulting in an increased risk of damage.

At the speed in which an animal will do substantial damage, it will more likely just break the animal into 2-3 pieces while those large chunks of animal continue to move toward your grill with most of their inertia.
For this, a full protection bumper and grill/headlight guard is used.

>to take the blow from hard nose dives
No, that's generally a thick gauge skid plate.

It's another spot to hold on to while being rammed up the ass behind the mall at night. Fuck Jeep fags I fucking hate you all.

did your gf leave you for a guy who drives a jeep user?

PREACH

To show everyone what a stupid attention whoring faggot you are.

They are, but those things are usually a lot more solid, and also give you a lot more places to hook up as you'll find usually find yourself and the car in need of a tow in the dumbest fucking place thinkable when you're offroading

(note; photo not very related)

>long lever
>more solid than hook bolted directly to frame
