I think I got like 50 feet of the tube. But might not need that much. It's 1 dollar a foot where I get it.Originally Posted by Juan4you

. I'm going to leave my rack for last since its visible. Tomorrow I'm going to cut my bumper brackets to fit a Yj bumper I got for $50. Also got a rear one for the rear, got it for $40. Practice on non visible brackets, and hope I get my welding down for the visible stuff...hope.
