    If it was being towed, it's possible it might take a while. But who knows? Maybe it was stolen?

    I plan to take my truck/shocks to Milogen (Milpitas) or Shaffers (Union City). Guess it depends on who has availability and when. I'm more inclined to just drop off the truck and let them do it all but last time I took my shocks off and brought them.

    Had my pops record me while doing the DMV course today for final prep for my M driving test on Friday…let’s just say I didn’t realize how tiny the Honda Navi looks under me. Unfortunately, I can’t upload the video but this picture sums it up perfectly.

    I thought I would never get another pup after my buddy of 11 years was killed by a coyote. Then I met @71tattooguy beautiful Goldie at Usal. 10 weeks old, just took her home. My new wheeling, camping, and fishing buddy.

    Ok... random assed question lol Anyone know anyone that can bend DOM tubing... well?

    I have access to a bender, we actually used it to add the headlight hoops to my front bumper. It came out well. But I'm wanting to remove my fender flares, make DOM "fender flares" to replace them, and cut the sheet metal up to the DOM flares. The blue lines in the picture is what I'm wanting the tubing to follow. Not sure if those gradual bends are possible or if I'd have to bend multiple times and have flat spots in between (which is what I'd like to avoid). I don't think a bender will even do what I want here, I think this is more a roller than a bender.

    Shouldn't be a problem if you have access to a bender. If it's tight you can fill it with sand and cap the ends to keep it from collapsing.

    Problem is I want it really gradual like those blue lines. It's more gradual than a bender would do (I think) that's why I think I'd need a roller instead of a bender. Not even sure it's possible to make the bends follow those lines without more advanced equipment and knowledge than I currently have LMAO!:rofl:
