[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 409258, member: 1780"] My cage is built out of HREW and I'm assuming my sliders are too. My sliders are gettin beat up pretty bad and I have a bar in the bedside exo cage and a roof bar across the front of the passenger side that are both bent. The roof bar got bent from 2 full rolls off of an obstacle. The side bar is bent from rubbing up against ****, and sliders are self explanatory. It still all is structurally sound, but cosmetically flawed from being bent. With that said, HREW is plenty strong enough, especially for crawling....but for the bending part, it's easy to see where dom benefits. Like was mentioned before - If I was starting from scratch, the extra money that dom costs would far outweigh having a bunch of "raisined" tubing after a few years of hardcore crawling. At the end of the day when it's time for resale, nobody wants something that looks like it's been run through the mill and bent all to hell, even if it is mechanically good. Some may disagree, but cosmetics play a huge part of resale, even in the crawler world. You will lose more money with a raisined up rig than what the dom initially costs. [/QUOTE]
