had one, worked best when i cut the backing in half off and brought the outer skin closer and welded where ever metal went together. naturally it bent after being nosed by a v- bumper that was rumored 6+ hours of welding in it. ran mine 6 times with no issues

Hell yes!! load it full use 4x6 or a 6x6 x 3/8 or x 1/2 cap one end let it cure cap the other end. And use a floor jack in the middle and a couple of extra hands and weld it on. Plus it cheaper than buying steel to stuff it if u have to buy it.

i just took the skin off and beat a 3x3 1/4 inch thick in mine and made the point in the middle to keep the original contour of the bumper and plated the top and bottom with 1/4 inch plate to add more strength and welded the skin to the plate and welded straps of metal over the the skin from top to bottom and capped the ends  |
