Jeremy82zx Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 are you guys really using rolled steel tubing? . On xtreme 4x4 they said rolled steel is only good for cargo racks and such. They said chromoly is best for frame work. idk though if it works it works i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Its the one from http://www.speedwaymotors.com. I think it's the "Type III" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76s30 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 the advantage of dom over erw other than a slightly higher tensiel strength lies in the fact that dom tube that is said to be .095 wall is really .095 every where. erw tube can vary to .089 to .099.... so to keep from having an illeagal cage you buy erw tube with thicker wall. which is heavier. Speed costs money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rely on their judgement more then a 4x4 magazine or web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
