tubing

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I could use 3 sticks of 1.75x.120 HREW or DOM for my exo, and body got some they want to part with? Or a cheap hook up?

[AggieTJ2007]

I can get you some dom for $3 a foot

[FJAggie07]

how long? 20' joints?

[AggieTJ2007]

thats how they come

[agjohn02]

I can get you some dom for $3 a foot


i call B.S.
is this like the $200 front 60's you were supposed to pick up for us?
if not, ill take 4.

[FJAggie07]

Well I have plenty of scrap 1 3/4" tubing, that has been cut up and is like 6', 10' and anything in btw, but if he only wants 20' joints that have never been touched, then i will just keep to myself.

I am amazed at how cheap everyone in this club is (including me) yet you expect brand new metal? Ah poo on that.

[JeepPhisherman]

I could use some of those 10' pieces

[stx4wheeler]

thats how they come

incorrect where i buy hrew or dom through my guy it either comes in 24ft,22ft,21ft, or 20ft. the stuff for my steering came in 24 ft joint from the factory.

also 3 dollars a foot is not bull**** thats what i paid for the same dom about a month and a half ago.

[tigweld]

I just paid 2.71 a foot through E.m. jorgenson, when u buy tubing u pay for random lenths but only twenty of it

[CRaSHnBuRN]

what kinda shape is the scrap in (rust, etc)? And what is it, dom or HREW (it can't be pipe cause it'll mess up the bender) For my original plan, I needed 2 pieces longer than 10 ft, but not by much. I can most likely change plans though to accomadate it. If nothing else I may grab 2 sticks from creighton and some scrap from you.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

who all needs tubing. Perhaps if we can get several people together we can get enough to get a break in price

[AggieTJ2007]

well I have to go to Austin to get it and right now I think we are getting around 200ft

[CRaSHnBuRN]

what are you gonna do with that much? I may go in for 5 sticks since I got a feeling the runner is gonna be a jungle gym by the end of christmas

[DRAGOONRANCH]

When ya gonna get some, I wouldn't mind gettin in on a group buy for this.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I'd like to get it before thanksgiving for sure, that way if I have the time I can start working on a exo. I want to armor this thing as soon as possible to avoid a repeat of the last truck

[DRAGOONRANCH]

If somebody doesnt mind storing it for me till December, I would be in for 200' myself.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

hey creighton, can you get other sizes? I need about half a stick to build my steering out of. The heavier the wall the better

[JeepPhisherman]

I'm going to need ~40' for the sliders and another ~40 for bumpers and various projects.

[AggieTJ2007]

let me see what I can get, I will look into some more but right now ive got

ED 200'
Feller 100'
Garrett 80'
Me 200'
John 100'

Total 680'

[CRaSHnBuRN]

I'm going to need ~40' for the sliders and another ~40 for bumpers and various projects.

figure in extra for **** ups, cause it always happens

[agjohn02]

let me see what I can get, I will look into some more but right now ive got


John 40'

Total 620'


4x20 = 80

[AggieTJ2007]

ok fixed it

[agjohn02]

eh, better make it 100'

[Doug Krebs]

I'd like some 1.25 x whatever wall... I have a die for it now, so why not have some tube :gigem:

[AggieTJ2007]

ok

[Sharpe]

Price check on 2" .100 wall.

[CheapJeep]

Let me know what you find out Creighton. If you can take anymore order's I might need some.

[AggieTJ2007]

ok here are prices as delivered to CS by me to your door

1.75x.120 DOM $3.05
1.25x.120 DOM $4.00

1.75x.120 4130 $5.05
1.75x.095 4130 $5.05

Lenghts for the Chromoly must be over 200ft or add .50-.75

Also what was that thickness for the steerig stuff, I might buy 40-60ft of that stuff too.

Everyone let me know what they want and I will get started on the order. I am going to have to take paypal from yall and then pick the tube up on monday. I should also be able to get the tube delivered on monday as well.

[JeepPhisherman]

Why is 1-3/4 cheaper than 1-1/4?

[AggieTJ2007]

Because I only got a quote for 40ft vs 700ft

[CRaSHnBuRN]

larger demand = easier to come by most likely. As for steering, I would say .25 wall or thicker. 1.5x.25 would probally be good since you can get 3/4-16 (heim) and 7/8-18 (1 ton TRE) weld in bungs with a 1 inch OD just about anywhere

[stx4wheeler]

when i got my 1.5 in with .25 wall it for my steering it was like 6 dollars a foot. to give some of you all a decent idea on price.

[JeepPhisherman]

Because I only got a quote for 40ft vs 700ft

hmm, looks like i'll have some nerf-bar-esque sliders if i go that route. when do you need money?

[Doug Krebs]

can you get the 1.25 in HREW?

[CRaSHnBuRN]

what are you planning on doing with the 1.25 Doug?

[CRaSHnBuRN]

garrett, do you have enough room to store this in your garage? This stuff rusts fast if left out. Remember you can lay it under a rig if need be.



Creighton, I'm in for a 100 ft. Just let me know when you need the money. I'm thinking its time for a bending party

[Doug Krebs]

what are you planning on doing with the 1.25 Doug?

Who knows? I was just going to get 40ft of it for whatever. Probably not at that price though. Probably make good grab handles, misc. mounts, dash, etc...

It fits in my garage.

[Sharpe]

What about my 2" .100 and .120 wall creighton?

[Reckless]

if ya need help getting it, let me know

[JeepPhisherman]

garrett, do you have enough room to store this in your garage? This stuff rusts fast if left out. Remember you can lay it under a rig if need be.



Creighton, I'm in for a 100 ft. Just let me know when you need the money. I'm thinking its time for a bending party


yea, im not sure on my garage dimensions, but if it wont fit lengthwise, ill just throw it up in the above the garage

[AggieTJ2007]

I will let you know on the prices tomarrow.

Let me give them a call tomarrow when they are still open

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Let me know what the 1.5 x .25 is too, might need a little too. Mark me down for 20' of the 1.25 DOM also

[AggieTJ2007]

ok

[Sharpe]

**** 1.75 is almost $2 a foot cheaper than 2". If I ultimately buy 150' of tube that much savings would pay off a new die for my bender...cause I have a 2" die but no 1.75". Hmmmmm...

When are you making this order?

[AggieTJ2007]

whenever people make up their minds on what they want. If I get definetive answers and some money I will place the order

[CRaSHnBuRN]

how much would I need for a tie rod and a drag link on a d60? 8 foot? Like I said before, I'll take 100 ft of the 1.75x.120 dom and whatever I need for steering

[AggieTJ2007]

ok we can split the steering stuff that way I can get a length

[agjohn02]

i want in on steering stuff too, but a different size. ill let you know when sharpe gets back to me.

[stx4wheeler]

how much would I need for a tie rod and a drag link on a d60? 8 foot? Like I said before, I'll take 100 ft of the 1.75x.120 dom and whatever I need for steering

i would get 8 in case you screw something up, or the spare piece makes a nice people beater or ghetto hammer, but 6 would prolly be enough unless you mess something up. im thinking me and clarke used around five or five and a half, i can measure when i get back home today.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

for both the drag link and tie rod? Granted I haven't measured it, but 5.5 seems really short. Either way, I can always find uses for the extra stuff. Myabe if the length is long enough I'll have enough for an spare tie rod. That sounds good to me creighton. When will you want the money?

[stx4wheeler]

sorry thought you only meant for tie rod, tie-rod was in that 5 foot range, and my draglink(with crossover) was prolly close to 4ft i can measure when i get home.

clarke went with chevy tre's, and so his draglink is considerably smaller(2 or at the most 3ft), plus his power steering gear box is mounted inside the frame where as mine is outboard of the frame.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

okay, that sounds right then. Had me really confused for a minute cause even my little narrow toy axles needed nearly 8 ft of stuff

[JeepPhisherman]

I actually need some tubing for steering as well, but I think that 1.5" might be a little large.

[JeepPhisherman]

I'm thinking I need some 1.25 x .250, they carry that Creighton?

[stx4wheeler]

steering is not something you want to go small on, plus most people go with 1.5 that cause it is the norm so the inserts are cheaper for it. With 1.25 you would prolly not have enough room for an insert, and also may not have enough room to just tap the tube and it be strong enough.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

yeah, get the 1.5 and some inserts. Perhaps we can get a group order on them together as well. The nice thing with the 1.5 is you can sleeve it with some of the other DOM we're getting if you need the thickness and have the room for it

fj80 ends fit perfectly in 1.25x.250 tubing with a tap, but you're right, it might be wise to have other options, even if i do end up with the fj80 tres.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

have you priced the cost of that tap. I'm betting after the cost of the tap and tubin, you would be better off buying it from a vendor ready made. And since you running a d44 anyway, why not run 1 ton TREs or hiems?

FJ-80 tre's are "1 ton". I'm not going heim, since I've bought my arms, I've decided to go tre, so I need to find a new set of arms and unload the ones I have.

[sasquatch]

i don't see why a tierod would need heims. it doesn't misalign

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Ok, here is my list.

200' - 1.75x.120 DOM
20' - 1.25x.120 DOM
20' - 1.50x.250 DOM

I would be willing to split the 1.5 with someone if they need a half stick.

[agjohn02]

creighton, see if they have 1.5"x.375" wall and let me know a price. thanks.

[JeepPhisherman]

Ok, here is my list.

200' - 1.75x.120 DOM
20' - 1.25x.120 DOM
20' - 1.50x.250 DOM

I would be willing to split the 1.5 with someone if they need a half stick.


I'll split it with you unless feller wants to split a piece with me.

[CRaSHnBuRN]

it doesn't really matter who splits with who, as long as we have an even number of people needing it

[JeepPhisherman]

that's what I was getting at. seemed like just you, me, and ed wanted it, so if he doesnt mind having 20, then we can split another stick

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah, I didn't get a chance to call today, but I will get everything together pretty soon. I already got an account set up with the steel mill and a "company" that is buying the tube. Should be a great time

They think I build off-road rigs for a living. Boy do I wish

[CRaSHnBuRN]

that's what I was getting at. seemed like just you, me, and ed wanted it, so if he doesnt mind having 20, then we can split another stick

don't forget creighton, so we have 4 people to split 2 sticks right now

[AggieTJ2007]

i lost my keyboard

edit: OI fouind it

I will fiture thes out when I am sober

[agjohn02]

so, did you sober up?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

[AggieTJ2007]

[agjohn02]

anybody have a 1.25" die i can borrow in the future?

any of you steering guys wanna split a stick of the 1.5"x.375" with me instead of getting the thin stuff with weld ins?

[AggieTJ2007]

ill split it with you john

[JeepPhisherman]

anybody have a 1.25" die i can borrow in the future?

any of you steering guys wanna split a stick of the 1.5"x.375" with me instead of getting the thin stuff with weld ins?

So do you just have that tapped for the ends/heims?

[CRaSHnBuRN]

what size ends are you going with john? 1.25 would be a huge hiem for steering, or do they make that size of TRE, and if so where do you get them and what are thier cost? I might be interested in this approach, and maybe tossing in on a tap if the ends if the price isn't to high overall

[agjohn02]

1.5"O.D.-.375"-.375"= .75" I.D.

chevy wonton stuff 7/8"-18

[AggieTJ2007]

Order will be placed tomarrow, if you have not sent me a pm you won't get any steel

[redcagepatrol]

Anybody have some spare 1.75 x 120 DOM?

If not - I am making an order this week. Anybody else need some

EMJ told me $3.23 / foot for 12 sticks (it's $5.29 for 6 sticks)...

[AggieTJ2007]

How much do you need

[redcagepatrol]

How much do you need

[AggieTJ2007]

I only have one stick of HREW but I have plent of DOM
