needing a bender...

chris_dishmon · 10-09-2007, 10:36 PM

anyone know where i can get a 2" OD 5/16 thick tube bent for my stinger? my buddies only goes up to 1 3/4 and it won't even have enough power to bend it.

.3125 wall ?? Wow! Are you sure it's not a bit thinner?

There's a guy called "bigfrank" on Terrainstompers.com that has a bender that'll do that I believe. My hydraulic bender would probably kink it, but we could always try; it's your material.

i've tried 2" 1/4 wall on mine, and could only get it a few degrees...

what the reason for the crazy thick stinger?

we have used 3/16, and stood jeeps on them. run some bracing on it and go with it. The one i had on the pumpkin was .125 wall, and i couldn't hurt it for anything. used it to lift wheels up some rock ledges....
