Roll Bar metal - add on

[Walter Hinz]

I finally found a local roll bar..

However, I want to weld a few options onto it. It is 1 1/2 tube. Any ideas on where I can find 1 1/2 tube? I went to Home Depot , but they only have very heavy pipe or galvanized steel. I am assuming these are not good candidates?

Any ideas?

Thanks...

You need to go to a metal mart, a home improvement store won't have what you need.

At the VERY LEAST, use HREW or CREW tubing, NOT PIPE!!!

Pipe will bend and crush in a rollover, leaving you and/or passengers dead.

DOM tubing is even better still, than the REW tubings.

If you're not absolutely certain of your welding ability, take it to a real fab shop (not a 4x4 boutique, if you see a lifted Super Duty on 20"+ wheels and lots of bolt on crap in the lot, that's a flag, they probably don't do real fab work. If you see a bunch of dented rigs with rock rash on the tires, and the cages are in tact on all of them, you've got a winner)

Get 1 1/2" x 0.120 DOM tubing. As stated above find a steel supply that can supply it.
