How about some home made rear bumpers?

Have any of you guys ever made a rear bumper out of say box tubing? I'm not really looking for any offroad type bumpers. Pictures would be great! Maybe something with a built in hitch receiver.

This bumper has been the death of 2 small plastic cars. Sadly one of them was mine. A Nissan 200sx I backed into the bumper (Well under it actually) and it ripped off my rear spoiler and ended by smashing out my rear window.

Second one was a Dodge neon. I was in mesa on the 60 freeway. I was driving about 75 MPH and got rear ended by the speeding Neon. it sent me into a fishtail and I almost rolled the Burb. The Neon went up under the rear end ripping off the hood and tearing off the whole top of the Neon's motor and smashing the windshield.
