i am going to tube my comanche over the winter and i am starting to prepare now, i was just curious to what kinda of tube benders you guys were useing, im thinking 1 3/4 tube with .120 wall thickness. thanks for the help and big woody you were a big key in me going over the edge and doing it.
 
Ive got the JD2 and it works great!Just wished I could afford the power hydraulics!
 
I have no problem with the manual ratchet bending. I also use a JD2 model 3. Each ratchet does ~5* bend. That's not bad, and MOST of the time you're not going over a 90* bend. I personally would not waste the money for hydraulics. I would just use them if I had them. So manual is fine for what I do.

I'm working with 1.5" .126 wall DOM, and it bends fine.
