   / Brush Guard Project #11  
I was thinking about doing the same thing on our Ranger,nerf bars,rear bumpers,but wasn't sure that type of bender would work,but after looking at yours I think it will.

If I had known you could do that I would have paid you $69 for my new Ford Grill Guard ! I am always a day late and a dollar short! Nice looking job ,Gene . )</font>

BigAl,

Thanks, I have only $30 in pipe in this project. I'm not sure I'm ready to make a truck brush guard.(at least not one worthy of a truck like yours) I will practice up some more. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Total time on this project was about 5 hours. The bending part was just a few minutes.

Ooohhh, you do nice work. I have to fabricate tree guards for our Power Trac before next season. I think I'll look into picking up one of those benders from HF.

I think it would make great nerf bars out of 2" pipe. A few months ago I bought a set for my wife's Expedition and I wish that I would have waited and made them with the bender.

I would strongly recommend practicing on a scrap piece first.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It is always fun using a new tool for the first time. After I finished this bending project I started thinking of other projects that I could use the bender on. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gene, that's just neat, crisp, and sanitary. Highly functional too. It does my heart good to see work like that.
