Mine is made out of 6 inch channel iron and is telephone pole stiff. I know from experience of backing into one. Nothing bent. Just a sudden stop.
When I built my bumper, I wondered how bad my frame would bend if the bumper didn't.

Oh well. Too late now.

You have the coolest stuff lying around your yard. What is that old one and a half ton truck in the background ? The one that's missing the front wheel ?

Looks like a cool project.

That looks awesome, Mr. Knittle. I swear, everything you touch, goes from coal to diamond. Surplus of skill set, I must say.

Looking good man! As Augie pointed out seems like you have the magic touch. Sounds like there is some light at the end of the Commiefornia tunnel for you. Nice!

Thanks Tim.
Yeah we are moving to Tulsa Oklahoma on the 15th of next month. First thing when I cross the Nevada state line the bullet button from My AR 15 goes out the window
It really is bad here for a small town. transients everywhere. Mostly let out of jail/prison from the last two rounds of decriminalization.
