Where to buy DOM or 2x3 steel for sliders/bumpers

[Albino 94LTD]

OK guys, the boat is out of the garage for a month or so (needed the room for old furniture during Christmas)

Time to do a little work on the X aproach-departure angles and take off the OEM running boards to mock up some sliders.

SO,,,,,,where do y'all get your steel from????

 

[Spdrcer34]

Dunno about the steel in YOUR neighborhood, but here in Bremerton, the Steel Recycling place has the best price on Steel...

What are you going to do with your Running boards?

I have Grey ones from the `97 I just picked up, and was going to paint them, but if I can get a set of White ones..........

I seriously think we should get a Build Party together.....even us Street Guys (well...*I* would) would come out and help...

I don't think you want these, they have been sliders for a couple years. I'll take some pix for you.

i know where you can get it....my dads house

How about some evening this week? I'll call you later today

Kevin, When can I pick up those bumpers?

Kevin, When can I pick up those bumpers?

Well, they're still attached to the explorer. The front one looks to have a bend on the top from being pulled on but should be easily taken care of with a persuader

So I can pull them off Sunday or you can come out and pull them off yourself any time.

If you guys get together for a "Slider Building Party" at Phil's, just let me know - - I'll bring up the stuff I'm holding for you...

Here's an online supplier that I have used many times for DOM. Click on steel round tube for DOM.

[JPistheman]

broncoman i think i know the place your talking about and i found a place up in clearview thats cheaper then woodinville.

 

[Albino 94LTD]

JP, to be any cheaper than Sowell Steel, they would have to pay YOU to take the steel.

 

[Albino 94LTD]

The reason

OK, here is one of the reasons I was asking about steel.

 

[JPistheman]

ohhh. haha. i got ya. the only place i know in woodinville that sells steal asks almost double any other place around here.

should be nice lookin bumper

 

[Albino 94LTD]

The other reason

 

[Spdrcer34]

Luckily the economy sucks so bad right now, that between the price of fuel and the drop in the need for steel worldwide for production, the price of steel just took a HUGE dive.

Check on Steel Prices THIS WEEK compared to a month ago, and see what the difference is!

[Albino 94LTD]

Still can't beat the prices at Sowell Steel.

So are you up to some welding??

Phil -

Just douse the cardboard with a couple coats of Herculiner - - stronger than STEEL! ! ! !: And the TP is always handy on a trail run...

Looks good, when the weldfest?

I'm not sure when or where the weldfest will be. I still have to call Ryan. I'm 'on call' starting Friday morning, for a week, then it's holiday time.

BTW, check the BackRoadDrivers site, there's a trip on the 27th starting at Rockport. Would be nice to have some RBV's in the group.
