Dom tube bender ideas??

[Mightyfordranger]

Sorry I know I'm posting questions that may have been. Asked before or that would seem easy to many but I'm just getting started making bumpers and custom stuff for my rig and being this is my first one I'm a little in the dark so that said I'm looking for a good way to bend 1.5 2.0 dia dom tube I have tried a few ways with some small test pieces but all my bends end up kinking any body have good methods and I can't afford the 1000$+ for the fancy benders...thanks

Affordable benders.com cheap bender works best on .120 tube

I went the other route and got square tubing. You just cut small sections outs heat and bend and reweld by hand. I just started my bumper last weekend. This is 1 1/2 tubing that's .125" thick or 1/8".

Fill the tube with sand and it'll eliminate kinking i have blue prints to a jd2 mk model 3? Bender but you would still have to pay $400 for there die sets
