Yes, I used some square tubing from something (???) I rescued from a dumpster. I just welded onto the bumper. The bumper is not very thick steel (10 GA, maybe) and thus not very strong. I only welded onto the bumper because I wanted it so that if I hit something, I wouldn't bend my frame (more than it is bent now). And because I'm lazy.

maybe this? Or this?
