Push bumper for tow hitch

[Kalaehina]

Has anyone ever made a push bar attatchment for your front tow hitch receivers? Like something with those thick rubber pieces tow trucks use, something you can put into the receiver then remove when you're done. Would the receiver be able to handle the stress? Just wondering because I'm going to get a Buckstop and was wondering how I would give a disabled vehicle a "little" helpful push, without totally destroying their rear end.

I have built a couple of them. A single receiver tube in the middle won't work unless the vehicles stay totally and completely square to each other. If they don't, you will bend the bumper or the receiver tube. The best way to do this is to install 2 receiver tubes, one on each frame horn. Works like a dream, and never had a problem that way.
