haha yeah... Look im just a learner.. jokes are fine. Now if i want some comeback, I'd scrap it off the back of your momma's throat..

Jus jokin bud

 

So fitting for a thread with "Felony" in it.

 

ahh just a joke. not serious at all.

 

stand in line...you have to go through her pimp...ur dad

and if you cant take a good joke, u shouldnt drive a jeep!!!

 

Hey now, you guys keep this up and I'll make the wife log on and have her pm you to death.......



Lets stay on topic here.......

I'm not wasting DOM on the flares, I'm using sqd. 40 ERW 1" which has a 1-1/4" OD......with such a small radious and substancal wall thickness, it's up to the job........another point of intrest is, you can not get the tight 2.5" radious I'm using with a pipe/tube bender, I'm actually sectioning preformed elbo's and welding the in......

Play nice............sholder's feeling better, took it easy the other day, I had some down time and got board so I taught my kid's gerbil (Liberace) how to play Shoots and Ladders..........I quit after 3 hours of playing, I hate getting beat!!.....



If you're board........and don't have a kid with a gerbil.....give this a listen:

Yeah yeah. All fun here..

I think ill choose a jeep over a benz.

 

So detour your saying you are just using weld fittings? Or am i confused..
You dont actually use a pipe bender. Just the simply fact of measuring and lining the pipe up right?

 

There are companies that are in the business of forming tube/pipe, various radious's available and common.....Wagner-Braun is one such industrial supplier....they will also custom form steel, but this is for industrial purposes and not so much for our purposes.....

So yes, I take in this case a 2.5" radioused elbo, section it to what I need, and use it as if it was formed in a tube bender. In my case, I know of no tube bender which can provide a tight, 2.5" radious........

 

Okay i understand now. Well im wanting to do some flat fenders with some tubing in it. Just like the bushwackers. But i can't afford those things. So ill have to make my own. Thanks for the feedback.

Not a bad idea there Detour. Let us know how that works out.

 

Quarter panel cubby or cargo area access?
