I have welded up a couple of bumpers for my Toyota pickups over the years. Two pieces of two inch schedule 40 pipe across the truck and 3/8" by 3" flatbar forward to the frame. Then bolted to the frame with 1/2" grade 8 bolts, just like a receiver hitch, which was incorporated into the bumper.
Mine did not offer the all around protection of the Ranch hand front. But when my little brother spun out on the ice and hit a big tree with the butt of his 92 Toyota, all he got out of the deal was a bit of a bend in the pipe bumper. He found another big tree, tied a chain to it and the end of the bumper, then whacked it hard enough to straighten the bumper back out. I had to look pretty close to tell it had been hit. It saved him the cost of a bed, tailgate, and rear lights.
He pulled it off and saved it when he sold the pickup, I put it on an 82 Toy 4X4 a few years later.
