As said already, simple, clean looks like it will do the job. I will take one. j/j I'm not hitting anyone up for a "part". I do like it and widh I could build one like that myself. I have NO fabing experience so it would turn out to be a piece of cardboard.

Fabrication is a learned skill, I have made plenty of scrap over the years

Blended means that the welds have been sanded down smooth.
There are no bends in this bumper

Thank you. That makes that work a lot nicer than I had originally thought.
So is it three pieces of metal plate welded together and then finished with grinding and sanding?

That's a mighty fine bumper you have! Just needs some Tow points and I'd buy one.
