I have a 6" - 1-3/4" - 110 degree die. I know it bends .120 wall. My question is, will this bend .250 also. The OD for .120 and .250 should be the same. Anyone know?

the diameter will be the same if you get tube, but not if you get pipe
as for your bender bending it, i am not sure
I need one bad.......i'd rather not die

I am sure that someone has some tube that they would sell you and ask Sharpe or Rhino to help you build a cage. You can build a basic 6 point cage in a weekend and if you aren't a great welder you could work out a deal and I am sure Rhino or one of the other guys would help you weld it.
Or best option. drive to steamboat and I will sell you some tube and bend/weld the cage up for you for beer and pizza

There is a place in Waco that is supposed to start stocking DOM and they will have a discount for Cen-Tex off-road members (hmm, I wonder who might be one of those ). I will find the name of it later.
