Inexpensive/Entry Level Tube Bender?

Ok guys, my biddues and I are all thinking it is time to start building cages for our jeeps etc. So we have looked and found huge difference between cost on tube benders. At this time we are wanting to build basic roll cages for 3 jeeps. After that how much it will get used is probably pretty limited.

What are some good choices that will not empty a pocket, but allow us to make basic bends.

Did it come with everything you needed? What about notching tools? Can a guy make his own?
