Well I looked at what steel I have I have a lot of 2x2 3/16" (1 stick about 10" and a shorter piece about 4') and a little of 1x1 1/8" and some odds and ends stuff...no 1/4" plate.

Going to call around today and see about some 2x3...I think it would look better than 2x2....but we will see!

 

Well for 15 feet of 2x2 3/16 it was just under $100 dollars and then I would need some 3/16 plate for the legs to mount to the unibody rail which was like another $25 and then some tube which I didn't price because it was already getting out of controll I figured about 12-15 feet of that so it was just easier to order and not worry about the hassle of building and finding a bender to use. I wanted to build almost exactly what I ordered but I wanted the outer tube to angle upwards.

 

I made mine just cause I didnt really like anything out there I saw for sell. I liked how they turned out...Even if ones an inch and a half shorter than the other lol

 

20' stick of 2x3 is $105 plus tax! OUCH!

 

From what I have called around on...2x3 3/16 wall is going anywhere from $5 - $7 a foot....WOW! OUCH! ...and many other not so nice words!

 

has steel gone up that much in the past month? I posted a build thread on a rear bumper tire carrier, and all of that only cost me like 102 with tax... so either steel has gone up tremendously or im getting one helluva deal on steel.

 

We only have one steel supplier here in GJ so I'm kinda stuck with what kind of prices they have. I'm going to have to suck it up and pay it when I build my F&R bumpers. But I should be able to get that done for way cheaper then buying one!
