So, anyone out their have a source of "tube" bumpers, "bull bars", etc.
that can be used to replace the wimpy stock bumper?

I backed into a pole last summer and spent a day straightening all the
stuff and epoxy-ing the bumper ends. The big thing I found was that the
bumper end attachment points are very weak (Part of the sheet metal). If I
was to mount something else, I would avoid using these anchor points.


I thought a checker-plate step bumper from a small truck would work. I have
seen Vanagons with wooden bumpers.
