good luck with that, I never saw anyboy with my bodystyle yota, even on here for a long time, now they keep popping up all the damn time



Still, theres not many trucks like yours around. Theres not many like mine either. And very few will be laying body and painted. I just don't want it to be like the newer Yotas. 20-30 of each at a show and shit..

looks badass man. only thing id consider is capping off the ends of your bridge bar b/c water's going to lay in that bottom half of the tube and cause a problem. tube work looks great

Thanks guys. Travis, I will be capping those ends. I'm not done welding everything up yet. I didn't want to try to get back there with the wheels on.

ILLBlazer, the tube I used was thick enough (1/4" wall) to bend in a pipe bender. It did dent it a little bit, but it still looks alright. If it was thinner, I have a manual Pro Tools bender that I use. But that thing is pretty much useless on anything this thick.

Fuck, sorry dude. I always get you two mixed up...

A Pro Tools bender is around $300 or so, plus dies. Works good up to 1/8" wall.

Pipe bender can be had for like $50 at Harbor Freight. But tubing that it won't kink is pricey. For most stuff it will fold the tubing and look like ass.
