    2x3 Tube vs angle iron for trailer

    Because I got that "I can build it cheaper than buy what I want" autism instead of "Good at math and science" autism. :laughing: Found a 30' camper frame locally that I want to convert to a SxS hauler. Of course since camper it has the rigidity of wet noodle and we're going to have to add some...

    Resistance to bending / Tube Strength

    Trying to see/figure out what the strength gain on a tube would be, more specifically a tie rod in this instance (applies to other uses too obviously) between various sizes. Tried talking to some of our engineers here at work, but everything we deal with is pressure related, not an external...

    Thinking about buying a small tube bender for stainless hard line

    So I am getting to a point in my project where I am going to need to bend some hard line. In my buggy, the plan is to use as much hard line as possible, then transition into flexable AN hose where needed. I have a 1" die for my JD^2 Model 3 bender, and I will use that for coolant lines in my...

  7. DIY Plasma CNC Tube Notcher

    So I started showing this off over in my build thread for my new 4500 Ultra4 car (Broken4 Racing 4500 Class Build), but thought it deserved its own thread. Let me start by saying the basic idea is based on JDs garage on YouTube, but there were a few things I didn’t like so I decided to do...

    Anyone seen them before? Found some RH through WFO concepts, but cant find a LH version. Plenty of 1.0x14 options, but not 1.0x16. Worst case, I can get some 1.5" OD .375" wall tube tapped, but would like to find adapters if possible. Any help is appreciated.

    I’m interested in selling or possible trade for a nice Street rod. I have a custom built tube buggy based on a 2004 Jeep TJ, I want to clarify that I did not do the original build but have made improvements. This is a very capable rig with very little use since the build. The chassis was a...

    Tube roller?

    Does anyone use a tube roller much in their home shop? I need to build about 330' of truss for a curved LED wall and I'm debating buying a cheaper rig (Swag) or if I should look at something like a Grizzly or Baileigh for a nicer setup. I can think of a couple things that would be cool with a...

    Early Bronco - Upper Seat Belt Mount Using Tube Clamps?

    So I installed shoulder belts on the 67 Bronco today. Instructions said to mount the top 36" from the floorboards by drilling through both walls of the roll bar and running a bolt all the way through. Of course, this ended up being too high (the shoulder belt is at my neck). Ran across a forum...

    Toyota Bumper Thread

    I searched and didn't see a bumper thread on this site yet. Front or rear, tube or plate lets see what you built. I feel like I always do the same basic design and want to see what other people have come up with.
