From rear bumper to welding cart

i am replacing the bumper on my 4runner, so i thought i would use it for my welding cart. the tig machine will sit on top and the bottle will strap to the upright. i am going to use plywood for the machine to sit on till i get some plate steel.

made some progress today. bolted the plywood up, sat the heavy bottle on,and welded the lead hangers on. all i need is some plate steel, and a mig machine so i can finish fitting everything. i may have to put an axle brace on when i mount the CO2 tank for the mig welder.
