I have seen that site before and they have some cool stuff. I saw a write up on their tube fender kit someplace, but can't remember where. Hopefully they do well by you. Let us know. What did you get?

As for HREW there is no reason not to order it especially for a trail cage. Your factory cage is HREW with numerous holes in it for mounting things so the sport cage will just enhance it.
As for jeeptubes.com
I ordered a 36" stinger and hood hoop from them. They were good on the price but high on shipping. I think it is a GREAT alternative for thos with no access to a bender.

i agree the shipping was pretty steep . and I guess if your only building a trail cageit'll work untill you decide too expand it then you've got to start over.
I like to think ahead

I added to my cage and used HREW as oppose to DOM. I did this because I added on. I talked to several builders several who have built Comp Quality rigs and they almost all build the majority of their Tube buggies with HREW. The strenth difference isn't as much as you'd think

Very little structural integrity is lost on hrew tubing as long as you bend it correctly. The correct way to bend it is with the electro weld on the inside of the bend.. rather than trying to stretch the weld around the outside of the bend. As long as you bend it correctly it can still serve as a great option for tubing. Not as strong as DOM but still a great alternative.
.. just dont buy pipe

pipe is fine, you just have to buy the right grade of pipe.
