This is my bumper now, It's just a chunk of C channel with some caps welded on. The stinger is bent and it's getting trimmed to fit my new tires soon..

I need a hitch so am going to build a bumper with an integrated hitch. This is the style I will build. Is that 2x4 tubing that you started with?

Thanks.

I made this out of 2" by 5" channel iron i had laying around. I used some 3/4" plate i scavenged at work for the clevice mounts. I still plan on adding some tube work to it and some fog lights. So far I am happy with how it turned out its solid as a rock.

I made this out of the same as the front im still gonna add a receiver tube to it and probably cut the body and wrap it around and add some metal to take up the void below the tail lights to clean it up. I've also been tossn around the idea of adding a swing out tire carrier as well but we'll see.
