This is as done as it gets for a while. eventually I want to wrap the sides back towards the tire but I'm outta steel and this is more than overkill for anything I might need to do. everything is 1/4" except the end caps, they're 1/8". I used a chopped up universal Valley hitch for the trailer hitch.

total cost= 20 for hardware and lots of time scavenging material.







BTW, this is my first welding type project ever. I took a beginners welding class at the comm. college last semester and that pretty much sums up my welding experience.
