Pipe Bender
There is some slight flattening on the bends as the formers are not very smooth and tend to grip the pipe rather than letting it slide so I have a piece thin aluminium bent into the former to help.

Popped the Jimny up on a few blocks to finish off the tree sliders
Finished off around the front bars
Looks good while parked crooked
Tidied up the end of the tree sliders
And the end of the bumper
Little bit more welding around the front bars
And cleaned up around the windscreen
Using the JCB, we carefully lifted off the cage
Then painted it in Hammerite Black
It kind of has a Darth Vader look when its out like this
Hammerite Black comes out really nice
Here is the Roll Cage all finished, back on the Jimny and all painted up
Looking a bit dirty already as we took it for a quick spin around some of the lanes
Stan2's cage is complete. Next is the Transfer box and the Lock Rite
