[Delton]

Ok, it's posted... I didn't know where we were going so I put down either The Gulf or Bull Run

Love the bender! Course it's the only model I've ever used so nothing to compare it to lol. Smooth bends, easy operation.

I ordered one shortly after I ordered the P1K. Wanted one for a long time. Having all sorts of fun with it. I need more dies!!
Going to order one of the aluminum sets for my rear rack.

You and me both lol. Some of those dies are outrageous. Currently I just have a 1.75 and 1". I've been borrowing a 1.25". Later on I'd like to get some square tubing dies. Metal is so much fun lol.

Yeah the cheapo from harbor freight. So far it has worked flawlessly.

Had people ask me about using factory windshield. Will it work? You tell me lol.

Thanks. I have been using a drill press and angle grinder. Lots of fine tuning.

I tried angle grinder, chop saw, you name it I tried it lol. Never could get the hang of it. Love that notcher. Worth twice what I paid. Mount it horizontally and it works better. No telling how many notches I've done so far. Still on same blade too. I use lots of wd40 lol

Ordered 5x10 sheet of 18ga aluminum for the roof (235.00) and 2 sticks of 1" alum round tube for bed extender. The end of one job is just the beginning of another lol.

Delton try using water. It's a lot cheaper. All you are doing is keeping the blade cool. My brother has a lot of experience working with steel and I called him about some 1" holes we were drilling with a mag drill and he told me about using water and I had way better results off of $250 bits we were using.
It's looking good!

@Delton that is really looking awesome!!!!

Dang man nice catch!! It never occurred to me. I got a crapload of spray bottles laying around. Where were you 2 cans of wd40 ago?? Lmao. Seriously, thanks. I love this forum

Okay time to let this cat out of the bag. Remember you saw it here first!! Cause I can see the copies coming out of the woodwork. I've always got an idea stewing on the back burner. It's just how my mind works. This idea came to me while planning out my cage.
What do y'all think? Cool air of open door, security of not falling out.

 

[Delton]

This is just early stages of the prototype. There will be a tube in the middle for mounting cupholder, pistol holster, whatever. I'm excited about it. Going for a trail run in the morning.
