Ok, so I have a very nice pro tools hydrualic bender, http://www.pro-tools.com/302.htm

 

It came with dies for 3/4, 1, 1 1/8, and 1 1/4. I can get free 1.25/.090 wall ERW for free.

 

Would 1.25 tubing look or be to small for some nice tube bumpers?

if you double tubed it , it might not look to bad.but it is kinda small really. depends on what YOU want it to look like.just for reference , the cheezy smittybuilt bumpers you see on toyotas and jeeps arre usually like 3"(which is overkill in my book, seeing as how it is thin as ************ anyway)cheers, b

where are you located? i can get you some 2" or 2 1/2" diameter , thick walled pipe.... really cheap. pm me if you're near south carolina and i'll hook you up. got access to alot larger bender too to bend it with. curtis
