Anyone need some tube?

[RockRanger]

Planning on ordering a few hundred feet before the increase in sales tax. Anyone need some to maybe get the order a bit bigger and get a better price?

I do need a front bumper made soon, but i can't really afford it right now. When are you getting the tubing? What kind of tubing/size, and what's the cost? It comes in sticks of 20' right? I think 30' or so is about what i'd need.

Seeing how the sales tax is going up 13% on april 1st, I plan to pick it up before then. I am getting 1.75.

 

[mounty71]

So what would 30' cost?

 

[RockRanger]

Havent called yet. Seeing how much was needed first. If no one needed any I would just get what I wanted. Do you want hrew or Dom and what is highest you are willing to go. I was thinking of picking it up maybe tommorow depending on how my scedule works out. How would you pick it up? Transporting 20' sticks isnt very easy.

I was concerned also about transporting. Honestly, now is just not a good time. I know i'll end up paying more when i eventually do this, but i don't have the money right now. But thanks for putting the offer out there.

serious? I read about a 1% increase, but 13?

You want to bend me up a tire carrier? I've got a design.

 

[RockRanger]

7.75 to 8.75% So yes it is a 1 cent per dollar increase but the tax is going up 13% over what it was. Playing with math can make two different numbers say the same thing. Some parts of LA will be as high as 9.75%. Send me what you want and I will see what I can do. As long as it is 1.75 tube. It is teh only die I am getting.

Well, I had a concept that was going to cut holes through the rear gate and do something that mounts in 4 positions with something like leaf bushings and tabs with 4 pins.

A combination of all of these, but sexy, and durable enough that when you let your buddy:rangertan: drive your truck off a cliff it will still be 100% functional.

I got a better idea. When I get my bender and get it working I come out to your place for a weekend of tube bending. Its going to hadr to make something like those whithout the truck to measure off of.

 

[Dannyboy]

I'm liking that idea.

You buying 1 3/4 .120 wall DOM or mild?

what are you paying per ft?

out here

DOM- 9.71 ft!!
11gauge Mild-3.40 ft, 2.83ft if you buy 40', 2.29 if you buy 100 feet

11 Gauge I think is pretty much the same as 0.12x wall.
But $2.29 isnt bad cauz I paid $3.0x per foot for something around 350 ft (1.75 od 0.12x wall).

Plan on pricing it on Monday. If I roll out to your place we would have to get the tube there. I would snag my moms car and roll out there at 45mpg instead of 15 in my truck.

"Tubular, Dude!"

(sorry - boring Monday)

 

[mounty71]

Just curious, did you get any prices today?

 

[RockRanger]

Well the company I ordered my bender through is going under so I am not sure if or when I will even get my bender. Not real thrilled about having $700 out there in limbo. I do not have a good place to store 20' sticks for a long period of time where it wouldnt rust so I decided to wait till I have the bender in hand. It was suppose to be here today so getting the tube now would have been perfect.

 

[IZwack]

Which company is that?
