they all have famous qoutes that go something like:

"ive been building hardcore offroad vehicles before you were ever born"

"im a master welder, fighter pilot, engineer, cook, engine builder, offroad racer...etc."

"your just a kid, you dont have real experience in anything"

Maybe randy can't type his user name correctly and keeps hitting the snoman and bdox keys.

Ivan, I think you could have done a more proffesional job of cycling your suspension to check for speed bump problems. Go steal a forklift, it will look far more proffesional in the pictures lifting the Captain with it.

Oh, you mean like this?






I don't think Botox is a Snojob. Snojob has nothing but false crap to post ANYWHERE and just blathers his nonsense to mislead people and cause trouble. I think Botox actually knows what he's talking about for the most part, as is evidenced in some of the other threads he's posted in. He just happened to post an opinion worded in a manner that negated the value of a rollcage and I wasn't going to leave this thread at that. Be nice to old men, you never know who their grand daughters might be.

I have been a mechanic since the first automobile was invented(by me), i taught Mickey Thompson, Walker Evans, Lee and Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt in kindergarten, and went on to teach them everyhting they know about racing and building cars/trucks. I invented the word tool, and made the first comlete set of handtools with my bare hands.

I am a certified chef, underwater welder, 30 year super machinist, been running engines on dynos since oil was discovered I bend dom tube with my knees and bare hands and my mom can outbake Betty Crocker.

When I said steal it, I meant to get it home and get the flex pics. Plus it would be a great help in taking out the trash on thursdays when you have all the scrap metal in the trash can.

And you really could lift it a tad higher if you tried.


Why does that last line sound like a future sig for somebody?

I would be really interested in this and appreciate it if you can find it.
Sorry all, things at work have too busy to research for leasure. We are currently outsourcing parts we heat treat in-house. That's over 300pcs. Throw this on top of upper management not wanting to relight the furnaces after the Xmas break. I will still try my best to squeeze in some time. be patient.

Here are the strength comparisons of black pipe, welded seam tubing, and DOM. For welded tube and DOM, I chose 1026, a medium grade steel for both. All values are a minimum.

Schedule 40 Black pipe:
ASTM A53
Tensile Strength -> 310 Mpa (45 Kpsi)
Yeild Strength -> 172 MPa (25 Kpsi)
Rockwell Hardness B -> 50-70

The following is from our own John Deere Corporate Material Standards concerning Black Pipe:
Steel pipe, also called “pressure pipe,” or "black pipe," is intended for conveying liquids or gases in fluid lines with connections by mechanical couplings or by welding. The suitability of steel pipe for various purposes is dependent on its dimensions, properties, and conditions of service. It is not intended for use in structural applications.


Welded Seam Tubing
ASTM A512
Tensile Strength -> 427 MPa (62 Kpsi)
Yeild Strength -> 310 MPa (45 Kpsi)
Rockwell Hardness B -> 68 Min.


Drawn Over Mandrel
ASTM A513
Tensile Strength -> 552 MPa (80 Kpsi)
Yeild Strength -> 483 MPa (70 Kpsi)
Rockwell Hardness B -> 85 Min.
