I'm thinking something along these lines, but with a receiver hitch added.

I got two pipes and bent them to the shape of the original bumper, and then I bent some checker plate and welded it in between the pipes. I just need to make some strong mounts now, and i'll have a strong bumper that looks kind of like the original.
I will try get some pictures of how it looks so far

The propane tanks on that bronze one look like Mad Max rocket boosters

Love the tube front bumpers, on my list of things to do in the future!

When the bumper fell off my mate's Landy when he was doing about 20-30 mph. He scrapped the old one and went into the steel stores at work. He came out with a piece of 6 inch mild steel channel which had about 3/8th thick walls. He replaced both front and back.
If something hits him / he hits something, I know who will win!!
