so in order to repair the damage to the flares and the bumper i decided rather than buying just some plastic fender flares i was going to make metal flat fenders for the front and rear tube fenders with side panels for increased protection i also will be making a bumper and used 11ga for rocker guards they dont go below to the body mounts though and i made a stinger so far im into the project 175 bucks with the rear panels being cut on the plasma cam bye bye birthday money i was actually gonna use the money to change my gears in the front so i could have 4wd again but no such luck

How do you keep that bender from making flat spots and kinks in the tube?

I used that same HF bender, used the same pipe(1x.120 HREW), and welded it all up with my hobart wire welder.

The rear..
The front is a work in progress.
