Any place in Pittsburgh to get some 1.5"OD .250 wall tube? I need it ASAP! My steering felt funny coming home from the run today and it appears the end of the drag link on the passenger side is fubar. I'm hoping its just the tie rod end and I'm going to replace it first but if its not, I need to get this fixed ASAP. Heading to Rausch Creek on Friday. I would also need the threaded bungs to weld in again.

Complete offroad should be able to get the stuff to you by friday. (www.completeoffroad.com). We have a very little bit of the tube at the shop(meridian) but I doubt it is enough. How much tube do you need? We might have 3ft, and I know we don't have the inserts.

If you cant find it anywhere else, Metco Steel & Supply should have what you need. It would probably be a bit of a hike for you, but worth a shot if nothing else pans out.

81 Kiski Ave Leechburg, PA 15656-1276 - (724) 842-3151

As far as the adaptors go, call dan @ ruffstuff. If you ordered tomorrow, you'd likely have them at your door Wednesday. Carolina Truggies would be another choice, IF they have them in stock. They're a direct retailer for Ballistic, so if they dont have it it comes from Ballistic directly...but if its in stock it'll ship fast. Good guys to deal with too.

If you get in a real bind let me know, the front trackbar on the buggy I'm taking apart is made of 1.5" 1/4" wall and I'm sure longer than 30 inches. Couldn't help on the threaded bungs for that application though.

Dana I have two of those tube adapters if you want them. I'd hate to sell them to you but then again they cost me a pretty penny, how's $10 sound for both?

They're for 1" ID tube. Let me know and they're yours.
