Wow, what a bumper! It looks great. I thought my 1/4" tube with 3/8" mount was overkill, but wow. My 3/8" mount was free though, so that's why I went that route. Anyway, I like the hitch idea, very unique.

I really do like how you did yours with keeping the round edge from the mill.

Thank you. My friend that helped me has a JCR stage 1 and I copied some of my design off his. They went the quick easy route to keep cost down, I'm sure, by cutting the angle in the tube and capping it off. Yours and his, both look good, but I'm really glad that I did mine the way I did.

In all honesty I have no idea...
the ends are 2" tall. and then I think I went like 10" long and that was my angle... and then as far as the sweep back I just cut a 1" pie out of the back side (as pictured) and then cut the front down to 1/8" (so i could bend it but did not separate them) and just kept grinding till I like it.
