Here's one I made. This is a farm truck that we use to feed with so I had to make the bumper cow proof. The bumper is 4-1/2" fence pipe. Grille guard came off a Chevy, I modified it and stuck it on top.

They haven't bent it yet.

Honestly, it sounds like overkill. If you're doing double channel because it's cool, go for it. If you think you're going to bend a single 6" channel...nah.

I know im,not going to bend 6in channel unless a mazda decides.to pull out infront of me,in,houston again. Thats why i built the last bumper. But i figured.if i double up,on it and welded mt deer killer.to it it would.look good.pluse be a good.place.to,stand while.working on it
