2.5"x4" square tube
« on: 11/ 3/09 - 03:21PM »
I need about 6 ft. of 2.5"x4"x 1/8 thick square tubing. I checked wheelers and they do not carry. I need this to replace some sections of frame on my Jeep... Or of someone has an old frame I could cut some from that would be great.

well I'd have a 1/4 gap on each side to fill and I'd rather not do that since I am chopping the whole front of the frame off back to the shock mounts and replacing it. I guess I need to see how you did it... just found out they don't make 2.5x4: rectangular tubing so I going to have to fabricate my own.

cut your frame and slide to tubing in side your frame about 4" to 5"  drill hole in the frame to weld as well as the edges.
