Come meet me on saturday at your buddies place 75 k5 and grab the slugs from me and I will give you the notcher to do the work you need.
I don't use it yet so until I need it, you guys can keep it and use it, leave it with the bender, maybe I can go up some day and do some work there.:thumb:

yeah for sure, why waste the $$$. Although you could build a removable cage and sell it for what you have into it, if not more, when you do the buggy build.

Having a bending party just doesn't work. Unless you do it for 4 straight weekends. For a full cage I would say you need two days to be done. For example when we had the build and greet at Zimms eric was on the bender and it took most of the day to bend the two rear bars. You will spend more time coping tube then anything. Many trips back and forth fitting etc. Its not a quick and dirty process.

Yeah that is true! We are close enough that it can be done over multiple weekends though. Boy I am happy I went with the swag offroad kit for hydraulics's because the 2" tube isn't easy to bend with the manual system. It not fast, but works great!
