Big Buck Buster Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Looking for suggestions on where you guys are getting the drop wheel systems and also a decent place for steel tubing.....? Thanks guys! Planning on a 7X14 or 7X16. For the steel, I got my best price up at Midway Iron in St. Cloud. As for the drop arms, I build them myself. If you are going 7' wide(outside), watch out for the outside measurements with the wheels. They can't go over 8'6" to be road legal. This means you only have 9" on each side to work with for the drop arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
river runt Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Garelick Steel in the twin cities. I think most guys just buy the spindels and make there own drop systems. try northern for the spindels. good luck RR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Szyslak Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Anyone using aluminum for their frame? I am finding I can get aluminum for only 10% more than the rediculous cost of steel these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Kruger Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 if made right i think an aluminum frame would be sweet as heck! nice and light!EK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Szyslak Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Think 2x5 1/8 inch thick aluminum will be strong enough if for the entire frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
