Wanted: Great East Coast Tubing Fabricator
« on: November 04, 2004, 10:16:06 AM »
I see a lot of guys out west who fabricate some very cool tube roll cages for Sammies.  Does anybody have any recommendations on a full fab shop east of the Mississippi that can match that quality for bending, welding, powder coating, etc.?  Thanks

why does it needd to be east of the mississippi?  You can have cages shipped to you in sections and assemble them yourself.

Here's a couple suggestions:

where are you on the east coast?  There's lots of race shops with tubing benders that can make this stuff for you.

I did some looking on google and found some 4x4 shops..

http://www.jdsoffroad.com/ this company has some photos of projects, and it looks like they do tubing.. (they are in NY)

http://www.emsoffroad.com/index1.htm this company is in PA..

http://www.adrenalineoffroad.com/ this company is in MD ... looks like they make buggies..

I'm sure there's more.

I'm sorry I don't have any reviews.. cause I live out west.. but I think that Yankee Tim (does he even get online anymore?!) might know?

Yankee Tim used to post regularly on ORC a while back but I haven't seen him pop up any where for age's.

He can probably still be contacted thru his site http://www.yankee-offroad.com/ .

Yankee Tim is a friend and is part of our northeast 'gang' but started drifting away about  a year and a half ago.  He's got a lot on his plate with personal stuff and doesnt have the time to devote to zuk related stuff that he used to.

He might be able to hook you up with someone if you can track him down, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  He was even a no-show for our annual Zuk wheeling thang this year.  Heck, Yankee Bob didn't even come.


Of course, being from massachusetts, I am kinda glad the Yankees didn't show up this year   ;)
