i was trying to find places to buy steel also...i need 2x4 and some other pieces to try and make some sliders..but i look at steel companies in ct and they don't even say they have rectangular tubing or box tubing.

Last time I went to logan tbhey had a shit ton of 2x4 box in the bargan barn they also have new there but I wouldn't sugest getting new from them there high priced on new and almost anywhere can get box steel just call them

Cool...what are the prices of steel..thinks its buy pound right?...but like how much would a 5ft peice of 2x4 box steel cost. And i know the width of the wall may verry.

all depends on how thick it is, last time i went there i got 3 6ft sections of 2x3 box 1/8 wall and a 24x24 piece of 3/16 plate and a 18x24 piece of 1/4 plate all for 110 bucks.

since im going to build a bumper, i looked up the jeep as being 70.5 inches wide. Should i go with 6 feet or more? How long are other peoples bumper?

Since im going this friday to pick some stuff up from logan steel, what would be the best way to approach buying it? Should i buy the length of the grill, and an extra 3 ft of the same thing to set a backwards angle?
