Not sure how this shows the simplicity... It takes tools that most do not own to build something like these.glfredrick said:Looks nice! Shows how simple it is to do home fabrication. I presume that you will fab stand-offs from the frame rails to keep them in place.
I ment homemade as in i had the metal sitting around and some time to burn, not saying its very hard but you have to have an idea what you are doing. As HARDTRAILZ said it takes the tools.glfredrick said:Looks nice! Shows how simple it is to do home fabrication.
i guess that because I have the tools and do stuff like this all the time, I see it as rather simple.HARDTRAILZ said:Not sure how this shows the simplicity... It takes tools that most do not own to build something like these.
OP-- Nicely done. Looking forward to seeing them mounted and in action.
my bumper tubes are a glorified HF bender.Shdwdrgn said:@03Voy, I gotta ask... those bends look really clean, like a mandrell bend. Did you do them with a bender like glfrederick listed above, or are you using something a bit more...expensive? I've looked at that HF bender before, but I was afraid it would just do a collapsed-style bend (like you see with exhaust pipe), which doesn't look good and probably compromises the strength of the pipe.
