    tube bumper + snow drifts = no go.

    I would prefer a plate bumper, but possibly could be persuaded to a combo between the two.

    Ah hah I understand this Midwest problem. The issue is that I'm out of a plasma cutter right now, drastically lowering my plate working capabilities.

    I've been poking around at that idea for awhile now. Just might have to give it a try. How do you feel about the picture I uploaded of the plate bumper? For a possible showcase scenario?

    i do like that. It is very similar to the image i posted, with extra angle to lessen the harshness of that top 90*. only thing i would add would be the light hoops.

    That's what I'm all about man. I rarely find a bumper that isn't too blocky for my taste. I like a good happy medium of strong yet intricate, good looking steel.
