I think a tube bender is next up on my list of tools. I had the local chassis guy quote me a cage....while not at all unreasonable, I am fully capable of doing it myself....and I'll still have the tools left over. Plus, it's not like I'm planning to build a 25.5 cage or anything

Im pretty sure if you build it to run....you are supposed to use it!

Tube bender is a great investment. I have built several cages and full tube chassis crawlers over the years its alot of fun. You may consider getting some tube bending software if you really get into it....
