Default Discovery 2 Rear Bumper Build

Looking to build a rear bumper for my Disco 2 just because the plastic one I have is already cracked.
Open to suggestions for material but currently thinking of building with 50mm by 100mm RHS.
Wondering if anyone has measurements for the rear of the disco and how wide the inside of a bumper should be, as well as any other helpful tips.

not to ruin your ideas, but for a few hundred bucks, you can buy a pre-made steel bumper for your Disco.

I built my own with scrap steel from shipping skids. Maybe not the prettiest but works great. Rear winch is perfect for pulling cars, at a and lawnmowers onto my trailer.

It’s not square tube, it was a c channel with 1/2” returns, I’ll look for some other pics, the bumper is holding up ok but needs some paint. I am going to change it up a bit, I drug it off a rock ledge while off-roading and peeled it up a bit, I’m going to cut the rear body and extend the sides to the rear wheel well and tie it back to the frame.
