    ^Ive never seen that one before. That looks pretty nice. I was looking at getting a JD2 bender but I really dont think I need 180 bends and it would be nice to have the bottle jack doing the work. And that one is not as expensive

    The things required to pull bitches
    Jd 2 are really nice benders. My buddy has one and we've used it to make bumpers and light racks. Kinda wish it had a hydro kit when bending Dom/cromoly. It gives you a work out.

    I thought the same about the 180* bend too but ended up doing a light rack that required it.

    That the only part I can think of I would need a *180 bend. But if thats the only spot I could just make 2 *90's and weld them together

    Hey Matt speaking of big plans. I noticed your looking into trading your truck for an FJ and already looking to LT it. Do I smell a baby on the way? :eek:

    Hmmm thought so. Its all good. I had an SUV until my daughter was 4. I bought the taco last year because she can get in and out pretty easy now. Babies in the back of extended cabs do not work out too well lol

    not at all haha... it would be a different story is there was the extra 1/2 door on the back like the new tacomas

    my wife and i baby sit our nephew and neices pretty often and it's a pain in the ass getting car seats back there... thats why i need something bigger

    i'll prob just end up buying a FJ or 4runner and keeping the truck, gonna have to find a place to store it when i go back to the miliatry and i'm at flight school for 2 years...

    i agree, the new ones are super nice, but i dont want too big of an auto payment again. it's so nice to have my truck and my wife car paid off.

    the wife and i are going to buy a house soon too... big car payment means less money to cage my truck and do other crap to it :D
