Save some money on your cages people

[Magilla]

i think its safe assumption that sis is full of crawlers and not desert racers

Also there is a way to use a harbor freight bender with out kinking the tube at greater angles, you weld one end of it and pack it full of sand then weld the other end up.

if its gonna be a permanent part of the jeep i dont wann skimp out. so ill prolly do some hrew or dom

but i wouldnt mind saving a few bucks on lesser important parts

that sounds so much of a pain in the balls i would rather spend the extra cash and get a real bender

KOH rulebook states, section 19.2

look at the mentions of mild carbon steel. the sched 40 sticks i have meet this requirement of cage thickness and diameter and material. obviously youd size up based on weight of your rig in this case based on the ruling, the the dimensions mathc. id copy and paste but you cant from them for some reason

it seems a little contradictory to me, and obviously people lean towards DOM for the application.

and then theres this:

this has to be doctored! everyone with "experience" knows that "pipe" cages cannot be trusted!

Just dont get confused thinking they are made the same because they aren't

so?

the name DOM specifically refers to the manufacture process, so obviously unless i had DOM pipe ( )

all "pipe" and "tube" means is how it is measured. O.D. vs. I.D.

the word "pipe" does not imply a material or manufacture process

im gonna be different and build a cage out of square tube
