*I* am concerned about fabbing my FRONT bumper with receiver hitch n'
such myself.. bumper is fine.. add in the "receiver hitch" and "tow
hook" part, and I start getting concerned. :-)

OTOH, if she has a welding instructor, she's better off than I am... so
have at it!

Don't forget air tanks.

I'll share my rear bumper design after I get my front bumper design
finished and the bumepr built.. and I can then turn my attention to the
rear. :-)  The front is pretty simple to visualize.. I still need to sit
down and spend some time staring at the rear of the frame...

BTW, how old is your daughter now?  And she welds?  Can she change a
motor out and cook breakfast before noon?
I already have photographic evidence that she likes Scouts...
