Tubing size/specs?


Just curious, what size/wall thickness tubing are some of you guys using?  - It seems many just use black-iron pipe, but I'm more anal-rentitive when it comes to my fab work and I'm hooked up with a good metal place anyway.

I just ordered 3 sticks of 3/4" OD .095 wall DOM for the a-arms and 1 stick of 1" OD .095 for the frame work. - Probably still a bit overkill, but it made me curious.

Thanks,
 - Jp

Dom is good but its overkill. I use black pipe sch 40 and 80 and never had a problem

I knew it was overkill, especially @ .095 wall. But at less than $2 per foot for it delivered I couldn't see dinking with pipe. I might have gone .080 wall if I were to do it again, but it's not likely to have been 5lbs difference total either way so it's kind of a wash.


I'll post it up once I'm finished. I tend to take pics along the way but just post everything up once its finished(or close to it). - Only thing really carried over from the frame was the upper two rails, lol.

Hey pondhopper I'm about to do its conversion on my 06 foreman and I was wondering if you are talking about black water pipe or what ??
