DOM as in DOM tubing? Drawn over Mandrel... its one of the ways tubing is made. I forget the specifics though. Another option is where its a flat sheet that is rolled and welded, and that is weaker than DOM... something with an E

Yeah, i guess that makes sense. Im happy to hear that it wasnt just me or my steel supplier. Now that i think about it i cant really think of a whole lot of uses it may have asid from our aplications and other automotive type things.

Yea, I have no Jeep friends where I live either . Only 1 Jeep in my town that isent stock, and no 4x4 trails for about 200 miles. First thing I'm doing once I get out of college is finding a Job somewhere farther North, it sucks living this far south.
