I think I'm going to have to break down and buy bend tech. The exo would be a nightmare without it. But I'm sure I'll be making a few trips to your house for stuff greg lol.

Bray you remember my moto from turkey bay... Fawk it :thefinger:
 
It's going to have to be starched a little on both ends regardless to stuff the 4D's
 
Dang jon... How much more can you possible cut off the back of that thing?!?!?
 
So where's the bed you said you missed so much? Oh you're cutting it off.
 
mog axles... whoops, should that also have not been suggested?

portal axles... DAMNIT i keep doing it...

coyote... i'm really sorry, i'm trying to keep quiet, it's just not working...
 
Stay tuned and I'm sure we'll see. haha
im getting pretty close lol
So where's the bed you said you missed so much? Oh you're cutting it off.

its prettty well going to be the same amount of bed space that i started with, except more useable because there wont be two round wheel wells. the new wells will be flat on top.

do you not remember the " bed space " in his Ranger....this is downright spacious in comparison :icon_rofl::icon_rofl::icon_rofl:

....eventually ill stop cutting shit off and start putting it back

Lies!


What are you using to bend the tube with (manual or CNC bender?) I ask as I don't know that you'll see much benefit with bend tech using a manual setup as in the end, you're still measuring with your eye (with the tape measure and angle gauge), marking with a sharpie, and cutting with a chop saw.

Though, it looks like they're 'lite' version is all of $70, so it might be worth a shot for that. I'd like for someone to prove me wrong on my thought process :icon_twisted:
 
Using a jd2 model 3 bender. Going to try and get my hydro setup ready this weekend.

I used the bend tech at gregs on the hoops that were on the ranger and it made it so much easier. 2 exact copy's of each other in 30 minutes.

I think it would be worth it

Guess you have to call and place an order for that one though. I really wonder what the benefits of the 3D over the 2D is. I mean, it would be worth it for me as i have NO flipping clue where to even start as far as bending goes.

Which one does Greg have?

Bendtech pro .
 
EZ3D for $150 looks like the best deal to me . I don't use my notch print outs I get with pro very much anymore .
 
yea, i think i might take that investment next month. Does it come with free updates or no?
