Got Me A New Bender!!

[Griswold]

Brand spankin new with four new die sets. It is full electric hydro and best of all it is already on wheels so I can get it out of the way. Second best of all is that my JD dies will likely work in it. It is suppose to be able to bend 1 1/2" .250 wall 4130 chromo but we will see about that.



I no longer fear your DOM and Chromo projects, so bring me your rigs and lets build some cages. ;)

Awesome Brian but what's going to happen to those sexy arms now that you won't be working them out as much? :D

[Griswold]

Yeah, PICS!!

They will probably shrink down to almost twice the size of a normal athletic males arm, but there will still be plenty of water in the fountain ladies.:D

If you need some practice on a CJ-5 I'll let you do it to mine for a minimal fee :D :rolleyes:

Hey Craig, heard you got something "New" in the stable, so where's the pics?? :D

Speaking of that...we need to talk. I need a new driver side door. Do you sell spares? :D It's Nick's fault, by the way.

I need some cage work done too. Mine bendeded. Pretty sure I can blame that on Nick too, if I stoop low enough.

I will be out wrecking my junk again this weekend, so maybe after that sometime. :rolleyes:

I was trying to be creative with a line through the second Upper Terminator obstacle. I should have just tried the high driver side (which I am sure is the preferred approach) but convinced myself that I could fall off and get wedged in the vertical hollow notch thingy if that makes sense on the driver side, hence this line. Of course, in hindsight I think I was not thinking straight, but I dunno...I got through, but sheesh...heh...silly humans! :rolleyes:

In the process I bent the tub up some more, cracked the windshield, tore my top. bent one of Brian's lovely tube doors and bent one of the (stock) cage tubes. The latter needed replacing anyway, I rationalize. The rest I could have done without. There is a pile of blue paint on that poor rock.

Now I want to go back and try the high line. :cool:

You're correct in assuming putting the driver's side high is the way to go. I ripped my soft top on that one after the spotter told me to turn right when I should have turned left. You sure took a beating on that one. Welcome to the club! :D What bent on your PSC cage? Just the stock outer bars?

Yeah, the high line is the way to go -- and I am old enough to know to follow my (ever-growing) gut :rolleyes:. S'okay. And all because I got lost trying to find the mall! :rolleyes: ;)

The stock outer bar over the driver side bent due to dragging it along the rock. I think the stock cage is okay for a flop but I eventually wanted to upgrade those outer tubes anyway for honest-to-goodness-roll protection, so this is my opportunity. :D

Trust me....I know all to well about ignoring that "gut feeling." :rolleyes:

Griswold and I installed .120 wall DOM in place of those stock outer bars when he welded my PSC cage in. I'm sure it will hold up better than the stockers but not sure how much.

Yeah, that's what I figured would be good to use. Here's hoping you never have to find out how well it holds up. :D
