The bender we're using is the same one he uses on all his rock sidebars, bumpers, etc. when he does his off-road stuff, and has more than paid for itself a few times now.
Just a hand powered bender mounted to his welding table.
What thickness of pipe is that? Post pics of his bender, I want one.

From the pics it looks like some large ID piping and I've never seen a hand bender capable of bending larger than 2" ID w/thin wall thickness. Pics/info please.

I don't have an '05 rulebook in front of me, but I was flipping through one the other day and seem to remember the cage/bar section being the same except that you can now go as fast as 11.50 without a bar.
Not sure if those doorbars will pass tech though. They have to cross the drivers arm between the shoulder and elbow. The rulebook doesn't say if that's with your hands on the steering wheel or hands in the lap. They leave that part up to the tech dirrector, and everyone knows those guys can be dicks if they want to.
