    Good place to find tube and tube inserts, local??

    I want to build a tracbar for an OTK steering setup.
    I found:
    http://www.kore4x4customs.com/asccus...?categoryid=27

    for the inserts and Currie for JJoints but I'd like to get the tube local to save on shipping.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm not sure about the JJ, I'm still waiting for the TnT truss with the OTA bracket to come in so I can measure the width.
    What do you guys think?
    Thanks

    I got all my inserts from Ballistic Fab. Very quick snd great quality. Price is pretty good too.

    Tube I split a stick with a friend and got some through a buddy that works at a machine shop.

    You're not going to find inserts locally, unless you have a machine shop make them for you. I would purchase from Ballistic Fabrication, A to Z Fabrication, or Ruff Stuff Specialties. As for tube 1 1/2" 1/4" wall DOM would be best, and you can find it at Fieldcrest Steel in Carnegie. 412 279 8785. I'm not telling you anything that hasn't been said in this thread already.

    FYI Ruffstuff doesnt have Tube inserts and i dont think A to Z carries them either i could be wrong though ..

    Kore also has better prices than Ballistic by a few dollars
