Default New welder, what should i make for my truck

Hey, i finally got a welder, any ideas of what i should make for my truck.

I already welder some medal to a 2 inch drop hitch and i drilled some 1/2 inch holes to mount 2 kc daylighter lights as reverse lights.

But now im out of ideas, i need the welder for future use and it was on sale now so im going to get some weld time in.

i ended up getting a hobart handler 140, nothing big but i wasnt looking for anything big, just something to toy around with now and again. cost me $450 buck which is alot cheaper than a lincoln or miller in the same welding class.

I might do a push bar, that be an easy build. Thanks for the ideas
