This bender is built locally by a guy that has been making them for a while, less than $500 for the bender and if you want different dies i think those are $250 but he really does a good job. If you want i could get you his # just let me know. And thanks we should be finishing up on the cage by the weekend i will post more pics.

yea man that looks awesome and for less that 500! Ill get that #, and keep us posted

thanks for your input, we may add more but for now we are done with the cage. After a ride or two we may add more by way of the door area or the top above the back seat but may not.

friends

you guy's dont no how much i appreciate all the work you did on my jeep.you are good freinds.thanks for letting my Chagoneer take up space in your garage Monte for a week,if it wasn't for that, Chris and i would have went back to the old day's and put it together on his car port would have been a little difficult but could have done it.if i can do anything to help either of you just let me no.now lets go wheeling and roll this thing.HAMMER DOWN!

No problem brotha
We had a good time doin' it. I just wish I had a huge garage that we could keep all of our rigs in and do whatever we want but we are just some poor white boys in the valley.
All we need to finish on that thing is the front bumper then it will be good.
Wait till you see what is about to happen to the Scout, It's getting a complete redo on the suspension.
Good luck to you guys on your trip have fun and be safe.

well got a late start friday so only got to hit the trails on saturday,had a few trailor issues.we were able to get on trails,13,2,and 18,big daddyjk was hearing a lot of noise out of the front end,so we decide to take the hub apart on trail 18,sure enough we found that the bearings were destroyed,the outer was completely shattered,the inner was allmost there we ended up being able to put it back together,and rolling out of there,the mj still did good in 2wd hopefully we will get some pics up soon.my chagoneer started spitting and sputtering as we come out of the trails,the bottom end also has developed a serious knock,but i have an extra complete xj for parts
