Need Tubing!!!

ridinwfo · Dec 22, 2006

Can someone tell me where I can get tubing at a reasonable price? Or if anyone wants to sell some. I need tubing from 1 1/4" to 2". Building a cage, an exo and some bumbers and slidders for my Yota. I was told there is a steel yard down in Auburn Kent area, that is the cheapest around, but I can't find anything in the phone book for one. Someone help a guy out!!!!!!!

THANKS!!

If you are willing to drive a bit from redmond I would go to Everett Steel. They can be a little more expensive but their material is usually pretty good and its all indoor so its not rusted like it is at Whiteside in clearview.

I think Bunk has got me set for the material. Now I need to figure out what size for the cage and the exo cage and the sliders. Anyone have any ideas for tube sizes?

1.75" x .120 wall DOM will do you jusssst fiiiine

. I would just use the same thickness of material throughout the whole cage/sliders/whatev. just my opinion.

I personally would do 1 3/4 for stuff thats getting hit. 1.5 is nice to follow tight contours since the die can bend it tighter than bigger tube. With a mechanical tube bender you can bend 3 times the dia of material..so the tightest bend from a 1.5 dia tube is 4.5..1 3/4 is 5.25 but they sell 5.5's i think..I would think you already have dies and know what size tube you can bend, Hopefully you dont have a HF pipe bender.
