    I jacked this from the pirate4x4 BBS, according to those folk, they're the cheapest hands down. I'll try to give 'em a shout tomorrow and see what all the fuss is about. If they're not open, I'll call Monday.

    I finally got around to calling EMJ, here's the scoop:

    orders >500'

    2" x .120 DOM = $2.25
    2" x .120 HREW= $1.08

    1.75" x .120 DOM = $1.59
    1.75" x .120 HREW = $1.19

    All prices are /foot. Price breaks are at >100', >300', and >500'. If anyone can produce a cheaper supplier where shipping won't kill the deal, it's time to post up. Doug? Scott?

    I still need to talk to David at the powdercoating place in Navasota. He's got a hookup somewhere, said he'd pass it along.

    I'll keep you guys posted.

    just called EMJ because my 10' pieces are not long enough for the hoops - need more tubing.

    For <500', I just need two sticks...

    1.5" .12 wall DOM is $4.08 a foot, they don't carry HREW

    SSS steel for HREW - where I bought all mine earlier,

    1.5" .12 wall HREW is $1.03.

    This is what I found out from Metal Supermarkets in Dallas.

    DOM 2.0 X .125 ---4.25 PER FOOT FOR 20FT STICK
    HTR 2.0 X .120---3.38 PER FOOT "
    DOM 1.75 X .120----4.00 PER FOOT "
    HTR 1.75 X .120---3.80 PER FOOT "

    IT WILL BE ABOUT 20% MORE PER FOOT FOR PIECES LESS THAN 20 FOOT

    WE CAN TAKE YOUR ORDER BY VISA/MC AND PROVIDE CUT TO LENGTH
    THANKS, JEFF. CINDY

    I guess that is more than the place in Houston...

    I am guessing that HTR is the same as HREW? If so, they are screwing ya'll for it, I bought the two extra-long sticks I needed yesterday at a cool $1.03 a foot.

    Here's one...http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showt...ghlight=fatkid

    The above one has a nice overall look, but I prefer the asthetics of the "halo" front, like this...

    Not to be singleing Scott out, but I noticed in the recent tube buy thread that Scott requested DOM.

    Scott have you changed your position on the strength of HREW? Why the switch to DOM?
