Bike rack on bumper?
I have a feeling I already know the answer to my question, but... Adding a bike rack to my bumper would be a bad idea, wouldn't it? I think it's the typical "store your hose in here" and have the spar...

Interesting solution without requiring welding. That is the fail point on most bumpers. I'm intrigued. Thank you for sharing.
Those will reinforce the attachment area of the bumper, but only marginally help with the torsion in the middle of the tube.
For a receiver mounted bike rack, a thicker walled tube, or frame mounted would be best, along with dodge guy’s “redneck” eyebolts. I also put 4 large SS eyebolts on the back of a previous camper. Not redneck at all, but clever, I thought.
