Hey,

I'm planing on building a roll cage for my XJ, I live in hemet, CA(So CAL)

There are a few places to buy tubing here but are very high priced.... So Does anyone know of a good place in So cal?

Right now I can get 1.5x.120 for a litte over $2/foot, I'm needing about 250ft to start.

thanks for the help.
Bob

not so sure where the cheapest tubing is in this area but i usually go to jerry leif ( not sure of the spelling ) in chula vista on main st.
i live in Elcajon, i dont have access to a bender but i am an aviation welder/ fabricator so if you would like to get together and swap lies in person pm me

that's a great price if it's DOM! pretty decent if it's HREW.

there are a lot of offroad/fab shops down there in Hemet, you could call around and ask where they get theirs. for 250ft you should be able to get a pretty good bulk price.

oh, and in case you somehow haven't heard, China is buying all the steel they can get their hands on and so our steel prices have about tripled in the last year.

Do you have a number for "jerry leif" thanks,


Yes, the price was for HREW..


Yes, I know there are alot of offroad shops,, but they don't talk to you if you don't have them build your jeep.
I have talk to All pro's And Dave tunner(he has a JEEPspeed xj).. but they just say CAN'T HELP YOU...
