It's all the same. I was gonna use DOM tubing for my exo, but I went with EMT instead. Basically the same thing, and both have an "M".

I for one just don't get why you used box tubing... using the main beam in a Hilift jack would have worked well, and has holes drilled in it for light wait so you could float over the mud making all the chicks tops fall right off!

Hey I know you too! What's up! Nah I gave up for now in selling it and started to fix it little by little. Got some RC Drop Brackets for now so it is keeping me busy.

You sir, just earned +10 points in my book. Seriously. For what your doing and what your gonna run, that setup (with some tweaks) will work fine.
