Not wrapped around or spooning the corners.
Like this: <[]> (the brackets are the sq. tube)

Gotcha, I personally wouldn't do it like that because of lack of structure perpendicular to the direction of force, could still bend....but it's on the back of a GT, it's not taking huge hits at 2 mph.

Maxwellhouse's idea would work, beveled bar stock would do as good a job as the rippers. The drawback would be having to work metal that size, opening the holes up in the tube is easier than cutting 3/4 steel (unless you have means to do so). Also, I wouldn't be surprised if bar stock cost more than the rippers.

It would. Plus your time..... No brainer here, I'd buy already made.

Unless your going to be rippin tree stumps with it, I wouldn't worry about beefing it up. Just dragging it in dirt and rock isn't going to flare the holes. If you do snag something, I think it will twist that bar, before it flares a hole. For the most part, I think you will find you traction out before you break. Just my

I had no clue rippers were that affordable! Snooping around it looks like the bar stock and the rippers are about the same cost. I agree, no brainer.
