Well when I finish it, I will know that if its bent from hitting something, the bumper is the last thing I will be thinking about on my helo ride to the ER!!!! I made one for the 05 Rancher I had (back bumper) and it was 2" sch #40 pipe. Clean look to it, and it now sits on my friends 03 Rancher. It was hit by him of all people when it was on my Rancher while I was sitting still and he was going about 30mph. It scratched the paint on it and left a VERY small ding in it.
