Are you making your cage out of pipe, or are you making it out of tubing?

i was going to use black iron. i was going to use galvanized, but weight was a factor.
ahaha.
yea, tubing.

You better look for a 1-3/4" tubing die, then. The closest pipe size is 1-1/2", and it is 1.9" OD. Or 1-1/4" pipe is 1.66" OD.

read this link first http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/bendin_tube/index.html

also, you can learn alot aout tubing, bending, and notcjing from that site

i have a jd model3 air over hydraulic bender. in my opinion the best money you ever spend.


gas pipe is for gas, not protecting your skull

the jd model 2 is a great piece also. i had one of them before i got the model 3

i used the wrong word in my title.
i am looking for a tubing die.
thanks.

TJ

yes.
a chassis builder is actually going to weld it all up for me.
another buddy of mine and myself are going to bend the cage and tack it in place and then have it tig-d up.
thanks!
