If you are going to waste a post whinging about spelling you can either

A. make sure you never ever make a mistake in any post ever again, specially the same thread
B. Fuck off back to the hole you came from
C. Front up for your own forum and make whatever rules suits you

until then if you dont understand a post make the decision that you have nothing useful to add AND DONT POST

[CairnsZook]

No, I'm just in a bad mood that's all.

I'll get over it eventually

[suzukilwb]

have googled it and looked at a lot of them did it befor i posted anything and i was going to ask whats the best way to wend it

cruch the tube at the end or is there a way to cut it to fit
i am not sure how to do it and make it strong what would be the beast to make it out of

[royce]

ok you dont crush it, you notch it, there is a thread on this forum about easy ways to do it

for material you want AS1163 C350 CHS, make sure its Cold Drawn CHS not hot rolled ERW, for no other reason than if you wish to compete in any comps this it what you need

can this be done with a hand saw if im cheap and dogy and dont have a drop saw???

are they just straight down cuts or what?

[atari4x4]

2 da spiilling narzies eiat shiat!

i think this is a neat example of an rear exo, the front half is internal though.

[shep]

hat atari where did you find that? do you have any more photos?
that looks like what i want.

[bogfrog]

Thats the one I've been lookin' @ lately Atari. I love the rear section still gotta work out how to go around or under the snorkel for the drivers side at the front, just not sure what I want to do there as yet?

[atari4x4]

nah sorry guys, i bogged it off the interweb somewhere...

[atari4x4]

i think these 2 have tooooooo much toobing

[appsie]

cruch the tube??your spelling is bad haha.do you mean crush the tube?like hand rails etc get done? if so no i wouldnt do it that way myself it doesnt take long to notch it out to suit the pipe and looks nicer,makes the welding easier.i just marked mine at the hight and low points,drew roughly where i wanted to notch it with a texta,made the cuts with a 9 inch then rounded off with a 5 inch.took bugger all time.

There is a notching thread on pirate 4x4 i believe for use with a drop saw to help get good angles etc?Hope this helps in some way mate

[appsie]

mine is just medium wall nb pipe done on a gas weld bender.Not the best pipe or the best methods of doing so but i wanted to learn to build one so i had a go,will find ya some pics.

[atari4x4]

this is the drop saw tube notching method.

don't crush the tube, notch it!

Here's a couple more for ya's:

[appsie]

even tho i have a cage on mine i am really not a fan of them.But the body was shagged and i thought it would be fun to try make.

Do many people on here daily drive with exos and have cop problems?

I too worry about this, as exo is on my to do list over the next 3-4 months.

I would assume, the more it looks like functional roof racks/ladder racks, the less cop attention you will receive.
