Will be able to bend .75" - 2" whatever the heck you want. Tube. Not pipe. (Just a clarification)...Quote:

What kind of radius' are you looking for in the bends?Quote:

It's just money, right? [dig]

I envy that you're taking that stuff on and learning to do it. I wish I knew how to weld aluminum, or steel with tig. Some of the stuff I've had to have done or wanted to do, involved tig skills if you want it done as strong as it should be. Rock it, brother....more power to ya for sure.
I just want a project done, and fabricators that I've visited with personally, listen to what I'm asking for, tell me they can do it...…..and then don't call me back. WTF?
I think if I don't want 500 or 1000 of them, they just don't care. I'm just a dude that wants one little project here and there to finish my truck the way I want it.
Brutal really helped me with someone he knows that might be able to make my nerf bars, I gave them a test piece of the tubing I have, and I'm hopeful that they can do what I'm looking for. Thank you again, Brutal... this is the closest I've been to actually maybe getting them built... :)
Shit I've never welded anything beyond J&B
Whatever the closest to 90 that you can get. Less is okay if the light tabs can still be welded at the same height, or close to the same height as the center two. I think the overall length was near 38 inches...and tab height needs to be at 3 or so inches from the mounting point I believe. I do have the drawing I made if you'd like to see it.Quote:
