Interesting.....
I see a lot of trucks in my area with replacement bumpers that look like battering rams and cost a fortune. In a major collision, everything gets bent but the bumper and it causes much more damage to the other party.
And how about lifted vehicles?

Also, if you are driving on the street and wind up involved in any type of accident where someone gets hurt, and that welded on tube stock rear bumper is involved you could be staring down a lawsuit and liability... making your own bumper is fine for trails, but on the street it better be DOT approved or someone is gonna lawyer up quick.
Even if the accident is their fault, contributory negligence just isn't really much of a defense these days, they're gonna hammer you for "worse injuries" and "excessive property damage" from it.
If you're driving on the street just use an approved bumper.
