I would totally replace the lower pipe that is bent, looks like to me yer main beams there are bent too, I would cut out the lower pipe and try to straighten up the main beams there and then weld in a new pipe, 2" 80 schd I would go...........then take it in for the line-x job and bolt er back up

Doc I will fix it for ya for free but ya gotta get it down here dude

what say you?

The uprights are pretty straight above the 4" main pipe but below they arent. I will need a couple of 1/2" brackets with a 90 in them.


Were probably heading down south next week.

So there was a party at Kevin's house and no one bothered to see if I would come down for the drive? Too bad, I would have brought some real beer too.

Looks great there Evil. Too bad there isn't any action shots of the staff misalignment tool...
