Yup;) Exactly

I never thought much of front hoop till a friend of mine went over back wards a few times...

It now has a front hoop that prevented the same damage a second time. I don't go for the Dear catching battle rams but I do like to have something there. Just my .02

Yeah, to say the least. I can't believe that costed you 250$. It looks like quality work and everything, but there wasn't more than $20 buck of material, a couple welds, and a bend with the bender! You should have had silly add a support behind the stinger that goes down to the frame.

That's some clean tubework. Is that a Shanco cage? Looks like a jungle jim!:cool:

if anyone wants the $80 special i can do that too. but you aren't getting any complete welds or an ounce of grinding

metal = $50 (that's w/ discount...sorry dat da price here)
3 grinding wheels = $7.50
use of 1 flap disc (1/4 of $12) = $3
2 sawzall blades - 1 extreme and 1 dewalt - $8
2 - d rings = $10
Welding wired, Gas and tips - at least $15.
1 can flat black - $2

Grand total= $95.50

Figure it took me 3 hours....well that's only $50 an hour. I cover my @$$ and that's it. If you're a do it yourselfer w/ nothing constructive to say well scoot. I don't want to hear it and any potential business does not need to hear it. Thanks

+ the guy has to make a profit, fuck u guys r some cheap ass's! Next time u got your buddy doing your shit for FREE, remember how much it should cost you. welders and tube benders are not free either. go spend a few thosand $$ on tools and see if u want to do 3 hours jobs for $20, ya right:rolleyes: all I'm saying is "STOP TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS";) ;) ;) no offence

Believe me I know what tools cost, I think Tin Bender and I have spent over 20k on tools this year alone so I know what it cost. Here is a "constructive coment, the front hoop needs to be triangulated.:)
