is this good for a gage

HSS = Hollow Structural Sections
or schedule 40
I know dom is better but out of my price range and I dont do rockcrawling so if I roll its going to be on something soft

[WHITE_TRASH]

I hate to sound like PBB on this but........  PIPE IS FOR CARRYING LIQUIDS AND GASES!!!  If you want to trust your life to pipe over tubing so be it.  You can do it both correctly and relatively cheaply by getting HREW tubing. (Hot Rolled Electrically Welded)  Its way cheaper than dom and is more than strong enough.  For a cage Id say no less than 1.5"x .120 wall.

i wouldent trust my neck to pipe

[brainlessfool]

PVC!    it's cheap and very EZ to work with! then just paint it black . there ya go!

[BLACKDOG]

how about some wire hangers, just og to a dry cleaner, they've got tons, and it'll do the same thing as pipe

[brainlessfool]

  Brainless you must be kin to my stepfather that sounds like something he would do. no  :bull crap:

[lacrack]

dont worry I not stupid 
its just that I saw a couple of post with cage built out of schedule 40 so I ask

[gmrwizard]

Ever try flex exhaust pipe ? Get the shape you want and soak it with paint and  then  and prey you don't have to depend on it.LOL

[gmrwizard]

OK back to the serious side.

I know dom is better but out of my price range and I dont do rockcrawling so if I roll its going to be on something soft 

I keep seeing it, what is "dom"?

[lowgeared]

drawn over mandrel.  No seam like hrew tubing.  My Marlin histeer tie rod and drag link are dom tubing.

[79coyotefrg]

not sure what the d-o-m stands for but i believe it would be the extruded molten steel tube, no weld so it cant break at the weld,  kinda like cast pistons and forged pistons  ,,,, you get what you payfor,   personally my guy is working on my rollbar / headache rack / winch point,  from 2" x .250 HREW tube tied to the fram and my rocker rubes

[79coyotefrg]

ok, some body beat me to it,   

oh i went the .250 wall because i want to use it for a load winch support,  you know for putting heavy crap in the bed,  pulling motors at the junkyard, stuff like that
