im thinking aabout making a reciever for mine as well as getting sim 1/4" solid barstick and heating it up to a roundish bend then drill holes in the bumper stick the ends in weld a plate on the back pull it thru until the plates stops on the backside and weld them up it works good.

P.S. im also in a welding class and thats where i do my fab work pm me if you dont feel like posting ive already built bumpers for several people and i have ideas you can work off of and we are both young lol.

dude not to hate or anything, and i like your idea but how will that hold up against getting pulled on or hitting something. I think i could bend that off with my truck. but dont get me wrong my opinion is from the crap i have to hit to get places but if it suits your needs awesome.

Well its made from quarter inch steel. It wont bend. trust me. It got yanked from a truck that was hitting about 20 and snatched me out from a bog and i was dead still. Its connected using grade 8 bolts to my frame. Oh and its not light. lol
