Default nor cal tube front bumper

Hello everyone I'm located in California. Specifically northern California and ive been looking for a tube bumper for sale and have been stumped since all i find is 750+ shipping. Couple fab shops are charging the same.thought some of you might have one for sale. If not maybe a good place you can recommend . Thanks for your time!

I would look on dezertrangers.com they have some in the classifieds every now and then but your best bet is to just save up and have a fab shop near you do it. Dixon brothers (now vegas desert fab I think) has 2 but your their price the same as you posted 750 + shipping

I think I am going to buying a tube bender and gona do my own, I am in Tn. and Zero fab shops for desert parts ha , A couple of Ideas though there are a few Roll Cage component places that might custom bend the pieces for us , if we can get the dimensions, maybe have the pieces a little longer than what you need , of course , math, weld, notch, grind , fit are all part of it as well. go to home depot and use PVC plastic to mock up then use that to bring to local muff shop or fabricator, its an Idea, you will still need to build mounts which can be mocked out of cardboard or construction paper. Fulldrooptv on you tube has a Guy named Austin who is a great fab guy lots of tips and techniques.
