    Hopefully they do. I know a guy who works at a machine shop, let me know what hapens with other dude and I will ask my buddy if they even have one.
    Your truck will be bad ass when you get all that done. I will have better recovery points too so next time we go ice skating with our trucks we can winch it easier. Our trucks will both be a little more capable than last time we went, so maybe we won't even need to.

    I'm not holding my breath, but it's better than nothing. Haha maybe scott at addicted will make me a good deal since i bought a bumper. I'll let you know though.

    I may have some extra steel left over if you want to be a badass and make your own stuff:cool:

    No more blowing tires for me!

    My bro and I are making my sliders and probably reinforcing my front bumper in the next month or two. If all goes well I might think about attempting a rear bumper. The features I am thinking about will be tough for a rookie fabricator though.

    Let me know about the steel, I will buy it rom you if I can use it!

    So many people have asked about tube benders including myself. I would def be interested in getting together with a couple others to purchase a decent one. We could pass it amongst each other as we need it. Just a thought. Think a decent one is around $500 plus the cost of dies. If anyone is interested let me know.

    Seems like a guy could make decent money just bending tubing for other people, if they were careful and good at it. Let me see how my first fab effort goes and I might be down. Too bad I don't live closer to you denverites

    I would definitely be interested in this.

    Won't be back to Denver unti March. But I'm trying to bring my welder up there also.

    Only problem is I don't think I'll have a place to use either of them.

    If we can get a few people to throw down, then I would vote on keeping the bender at whoever's house can fit a 110v welder.....

    I've used a tube bender before, and I'm pretty handy with a welder. We could make things happen :stirthepot:

    A small handful of select mods.
    I might able to store these things. Taking bids now for electrical upgrade and plan on sub-paneling the garage. It will have plenty of circuits and 220v when I am done. The only problem is I am very far south.

    I had them on my Tacoma the time we all wheeled Yankee hill in the winter with that runner on 37's. A lot of my buddies run them. They wear great for a MT. I would use them again for sure.
