oh yeah..what bender did you get:question:

Looks good. Tell us what kind of bender you got. Do you not catch hell for working in the street like that?:confused:

Great work Mike....

Did you tie into the frame and all that?

Diggin the Traveler in the pic too. What are your plans for it?

--Josh

It's the Harbor Frieght elcheapo bender. I tied in the rear only, the front I tied in right above the body mount. As for the traveler it's just a parts rig, 1980 diesel. As far as working on my truck in the street, the only trafic are my neighbors and they don't mind.

Alright Mike, no excuses, you've had over 24 FAWKIN HOURS to answer the question: "WHICH TUBING BENDER DID YOU GET?"

Get with the program! We're information whores too, you know (not just picture whores). :flipoff2: :D

Aw shit, you *just* beat me to it, Mike. :eatingcrow:

Hey what size tubing are to using my HF binder collaspes the tube. Yours doesn't look like it collasped your tube. The cage looks good.

That looks sharp. Gonna have to look into getting my rear bars in I guess.

I fit it all with the top on it, so all the bends follow the shape of the top. Then I took the top off and did all the welding. I'm also gonna make a removable shelf in the back for my coolers, it will be the hieght of the side. Parts and camping gear will go under the shelf. I'll do that tomorrow.

Mike,
That looks good. Can you get a close up shot of the bends?
BTW, If I had a Scout sitting on the street on jackstands I'd get a ticket pronto. :D

Does the Traveler have an engine?

No it does not have an engine in it. It did when I got it.

Ok, we need some details, the bends look good to me. Is that 1.75 dia tube? What size dies did you use?

I like the cage design, I want the same thing to keep the kids safe.

The pipe is 1.5 SH 40. I used the inch and a half die. When making a 90* I stagered the bend so it would not crush the pipe. All the other bends (less then a 90*) I didn't have to.

Very impressive indeed.
