I got the Ho-made from a restaurant near me (a real "down-home" kind of place) that has a specialty of "Ho-made mached potatoes", and they actually spell it like that. Cracks me up everytime I see it. It doesn't curve like the factory bumper, its straight across. I would sure as hell like to see a machine that could put a subtle bend in 2x6x0.25 steel. The bottom corners are notched, however, to give it a nicer appearance. The MillerMatic 175 is great. If you get one, you MUST spring for the 240V model (175+), not the 110V model (135). The 110V is for sheet metal. I actually stick welded the back side of the receiver, as a good stick weld is stronger than a MIG weld (no cold starts that introduce porosity). I don't think strength is an issue at all though, just wanted to try something different. Used a Lincoln Buzz Box in AC at 175 amps with 1/8" 6013 rods. The quality was very close to the results of the MIG. The 6013 is a very clean rod. More pics soon... I have the mounting brackets about half done. Haven't had a lot of time to work on it this weekend, as I was putting on a 2" body lift.
