Tube Bender ?????

[skyjacker_rc_club]

Im looking into getting a tubing bender for adding to my landcruisers rollcage and building a roll cage and bumper for samurai. Would i be better off paying some one to bend the pipe for me or can i get one for under $500 with a dye. Thought some one on here would know better then i would.

thanks
brian

Just clamp the tube in a vise and start hitting it with a sledge hammer! :lol:

Last time i priced one, I could get a bender and die for right about $479 shipped.. I forget who it was I was talking to..but unless you want to go through a lot of tubing getting used to it, it may be cheaper to have someone else do it..just depends if your gonna use it more than this time

Brian I've got a model 3 JD2 bender and access to some dies. 3/4",1", 1.5", 1.75" & 2" I'm open for business. I've already done a cruiser too. And I also bent up tube for Wheels Blazer bumper. I guarentee I"ll be cheap than anyone else. Does your FJ40 run? Cuz I've got a welder as well.

Im set on welders but short on a tube bender. Right now im just checking my options but thanks for offering. :mrgreen:

The FJ runs like a champ ;-)

I picked up the zuki last friday and it had no exhaut, that little four banger can blow out your ears luckly it was only one exit down the freeway. :lol:

My point we can bend it up and weld it. The offer stands.

I paid $850 for mine shipped to the door. But, I did the the ProTools HD, and I also got a 1.5" and 1.75" 240 degree dies, instead of the standard dies.

I would tell you to contact Mike Green 4x4 about them (he is on Pirate4X4 as well) but he is out of the country taking a hyatus or something like that.

I think you can get the standard ProTools bender and one die for under $500 though.

t-man, your right...... it was just your standard pro-tools and a 1.5" die..i wanted a 240* die,so that ran the price up some

I've got the standard Pro Tools. I'm tickled to death with it. I know prices have probly come down since I bought mine but if you can get one with one 240* die for close to $500 you should jump on it. You'll be getting a quality tool for a good price. I've had mine for about 3 years and it's always worked flawlessly,other than stupid operator errors :lol:
