Hi All, I've seen some folks looking for ideas for their rear bumper/receiver for bike or cargo racks. I picked up some steel this week and took care of things today at a buddy's shop.
I used 2x3" for the cross member and 2x5" for the bumper - all 3/16 tubing. It is very solid, I did add a little weight obviously but we went from a 1/2 ton truck to a Nissan Armada so I was faced with no where to put the bikes now that we're not taking the truck.
Enjoy!

Nice work.

I also like those wheeled things you keep your snowmobile on.

Well, that's a whole lot-a overkill for our lightweight Visa/Vista's, but that cannot be beat.

That is done right, with no hint of a shortcuts. Very well done.

Thanks for the comments! I wanted something that was permanent and worry free. I'm sure I could use it to tow another 23CSK so it might be a little overkill but it isn't going anywhere - and neither are our bikes!
Next project is to mount a swing out barbecue to the bumper.
