Re: Pipe Bender
This is the cage I just built for a buddy of mine's g2. He loves it. He wanted the bars to run outside the body to bolt to the outside frame. I dont have any pictures just this video.
Oh and here's mine with the new seats! |

Re: Pipe Bender
I have to agree on build vs buy.I build pretty much everything myself.It might take more time in some cases,but no one has my ideas in their catalog.My toys are important to me but family and home take financial precedence.Building it makes things that are out of reach a reality.

I started with a $400 cart that still has less than $1500 in it. If I were to go buy one already built with all of the work done, I would spend more than twice that |

Re: Pipe Bender
Correct.My cart was a $150 pile of junk in early 08',under $1500,6yrs. later and its still the most useful,most abused,and most fun thing I've ever built!!

Re: Pipe Bender
Pachanga I have the HF version. The Eastwood looks nice but will only do 60 degrees on most stuff according to them. 90 degree bends are limited to 3/4" and 1". And yes the dies are expensive for all the different machines out there.

Decided to go with the hf bender
uploadfromtaptalk1388372938884.jpg I replaced the rollers that came with it with the ones that i had in my hf tube bender and i didn't have any more kinks. The stock ones caused kinks uploadfromtaptalk1388372962110.jpg Clean 90 bends uploadfromtaptalk1388373053209.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1388373090826.jpg |

Re: Pipe Bender
I like that. The tube bender rollers do much better.
