    4130 vs DOM is always an argument. For a trophy truck of course go 4130 because its a tube chassis and can be sent to a heat treatment. For a prerunner in my opinion there is absolutely no reason to not use DOM.

    chromolly is way stronger, not sure if those tube sizes would be equivalent though. It would be pretty easy to do a quick bending calculation to find out...

    x2 there is no reason to use 4130 unless you heat treat the whole cage after building it.

    Yeah but you would need to heat treat it after it's welded for it to even be worth it to use 4130

    I dont know where you get this "way"

    1020
    DOM tube
    Tensile 90
    Yield 80

    4130
    DOM tube
    Tensile 100
    Yield 90

    Exactly 4130 is really only stronger after its been normalized

    that's true which is pretty impossible with an interior cage of a truck :laugh:

    Yeah I guess 10% stronger isn't much but Idk if you've ever worked with the stuff, it is pretty dang hard to dent.

    edit: quite a bit harder to bend in a manual bender as well.

    Agreed it is harder to bent but it is also much more brittle that DOM before its normalized

    That is true, also I agree with you guys that it would be pretty retarded to use 4130 anywhere on a prerunner, it isn't necessary.

    so what im getting out of this is i should do 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM instead. thanks for the input as i said before im no pro just a guy who loves the desert

    yep 1 3/4 .120 DOM would be perfect for your truck


    anywhere on the chassis, for suspension its the way to go
