In general, you will find that Agri-Supply is almost always cheaper than Northern Tool and their shipping is also almost always less than Northern.

In this case Agri-Supply sells the 6" tube for $9.99 and the 12" tube for $13.99. Each item is $1 less and the UPS ground shipping will be $1 less too. Hey, a few bucks is a few bucks.

Just make sure you get DOM tubing. It doesn't have the inside seam.

And one other thing, just about every 2" receiver tube on the market today uses 1/4" wall tubing. I believe it is a DOT (or whomever) requirement.

Mike,
Wicked pissa job although I feel sorry that you must have run out of that awsome Orange Paint.
Bring her by & we'll throw a proper paint job on that baby...
Nice job,
