If you are going to waste a post whinging about spelling you can either

A. make sure you never ever make a mistake in any post ever again, specially the same thread
B. Fuck off back to the hole you came from
C. Front up for your own forum and make whatever rules suits you

until then if you dont understand a post make the decision that you have nothing useful to add AND DONT POST

ok you dont crush it, you notch it, there is a thread on this forum about easy ways to do it

for material you want AS1163 C350 CHS, make sure its Cold Drawn CHS not hot rolled ERW, for no other reason than if you wish to compete in any comps this it what you need

Post subject:  Re: exo cage ideas

Thats the one I've been lookin' @ lately Atari. I love the rear section still gotta work out how to go around or under the snorkel for the drivers side at the front, just not sure what I want to do there as yet?

cruch the tube??your spelling is bad haha.do you mean crush the tube?like hand rails etc get done? if so no i wouldnt do it that way myself it doesnt take long to notch it out to suit the pipe and looks nicer,makes the welding easier.i just marked mine at the hight and low points,drew roughly where i wanted to notch it with a texta,made the cuts with a 9 inch then rounded off with a 5 inch.took bugger all time.

There is a notching thread on pirate 4x4 i believe for use with a drop saw to help get good angles etc?Hope this helps in some way mate

Post subject:  Re: exo cage ideas

mine is just medium wall nb pipe done on a gas weld bender.Not the best pipe or the best methods of doing so but i wanted to learn to build one so i had a go,will find ya some pics.

Post subject:  Re: exo cage ideas

this is the drop saw tube notching method.

don't crush the tube, notch it!

even tho i have a cage on mine i am really not a fan of them.But the body was shagged and i thought it would be fun to try make.

Do many people on here daily drive with exos and have cop problems?

I too worry about this, as exo is on my to do list over the next 3-4 months.

I would assume, the more it looks like functional roof racks/ladder racks, the less cop attention you will receive.
