I also think I'm going to fix and put my tinted rear lights back on.... I get eyeballed by cops with them, but they look really good with the black
better yet - buy them from schwarttzy. Material cost alone is easily 1/2 what he's selling his rails for. Add to that cost, a tube bender, chop saw, MIG welder and the consumables and his rails are a pretty good deal. That said, the DOM tube I used was remnants from a roll cage I built; and the hitch stock was from another project so those bits were already paid for.... but truly, if you don't have the steel or any one of the tools - have it built. With my tube bender, an Eastwood, I had to learn several things: 1) it doesn't bend 90* in one stroke, and you will need to practice to get a smooth 90* bend (at 2.00/ft for material), 2) the jack that comes with the bender is crap, 3) the location of the pivot really stresses the jack, so you have to reweld that pivot to keep from having to buy jacks by the gross...
That rack is coming along well!
What are your plans to cover the top (if you are) expanded metal?
