rear family cage tube
Looking to turn the 6 pt cage into a family cage. I need the rear hoop and support braces.
Does anyone know of a good shop in the springs to buy/bend tubing?

Re: rear family cage tube
You may want to talk to a fab shops well. Addicted in Greeley quoted me $200ish to add a family section to my cage, custom bent and welded in, which is about what it looks like the kit costs with shipping.

Re: rear family cage tube
My cousin has the ability to do this, but not the time. I wish I could offer to help in that regard.
I'd second Justin's remark regarding fab shops. Might call Hefty Fab works. The one I would avoid is Tanner.

Re: rear family cage tube
Talk to Jlougee, Joe & I did my cage a couple years ago out at his house, he lives there in Falcon & we bent up a complete family cage in about 3 hours. I bought the steel from Glaser steel over on the west side, they typically have the cheapest prices in town on steel.

Re: rear family cage tube
I agree it would be best to find someone local to do it on your Bronco. There is no standard....and what fits one Bronco, may not fit another.

Re: rear family cage tube
The other option, if Joe can't do it is to go see if the guys at Rock Ware can do the bending for you. I don't know what they are charging now, but a couple of years ago, it was like $5 a bend if you brought your own tubing. Corey might know, I think he is knows the guys over there.
