    I know that church! It is near the post office which use to close during lunch hours. Worked east side of i25 and hwy66 for 3 years. Gees. That was about 15ish years ago.

    3-1/2 OD.....1/8th wall tube victory...finally. AND a vendor that can bend it to spec. Damn that's been a frustrating process to get accomplished.

    Tube Service in Aurora will have the shit you need as far as tubing, but expect to buy a 20' length and wait for shipping from L.A. if not in stock...not that big of a deal when they can get what you need. Denver Pipe and Tube Bending, (who would have guessed?)...should be able to bend up anything to my specs according to the friendly guy at Tube. Might have a 4x4 shop in Commerce City (actual) that can make my light bar out of aluminum tube to spec, shit's looking good for progress right now. yay. One thing I want to do to the nerf bars once they get bent and welded up to the mounting brackets, is weld up some bungs on the bottom of them threaded for 1/4-20 bolts. I want to fab up some deflector shields to keep the sides of the truck from all the road/tire projectile abuse. Easy to take off and maintain with either undercoating or some such, and put back on periodically.

    Relay board is assembled and installed, looks great with some neato fab stuff I did to the bracket I used for where it ended up under the hood. Made a couple of rock/shit deflectors for the frontward side floods that are kinda neato. Install those tomorrow.

    A guy was looking at my progress today, and seriously said..."You know this thing should be in one of those magazines when it's done". THAT,.....felt really cool to hear, and to think about.

    If i was still in the area. I'd introduce you to the woman who owned that property, and a modest portion of Mead at one time.
