So Who Built This Awesome Bumper :d

Looks a lot like some of my better work.
 
Good use of available material. He should have turned the strut out so he can fasten to it.
 
This brings up a very good point. Building bumpers and hitches requires experience and comes with serious responsibility as the dynamics are much different when rolling down the road at 50 mph. The last thing a unsuspecting motorist needs is dodging 100 -200 pounds of S**t that fell/broke off a knuckleheads truck. Being nice is fine and dandy, but calling out a hazard is more important. I encourage this person to STOP endangering folks on the road.
 
What I don't understand is why he would put that ugly thing on what appears to be a fairly new truck in OK condition.
 
I don't think they understand what a bumper is designed to do.

Bumpers are intended to deform and absorb energy.

This one will transfer all the force of an impact to the frame. Instead of a bent bumper they will end up with a bent frame.

I have seen it happen more than once.
 
Awe, maybe he just got a new welder for Christmas....
I've said it many times...it's not how good you can weld, it's how good you can grind.;)
