[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 409840, member: 1780"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Help settle this Cold verses hrew question[/b] You're arguement is one sided. The point here, is that HREW is certainly safe in terms of not harming the occupants, but DOM doesn't bend as easily. You don't plan on crashing a drag car.....but you plan on crashing a rock crawler a lot.... The facts are, HREW bends easier than DOM. Where you may have bent tubing after a rollover with HREW, you may have not had a single piece bend had it been made out of DOM. Keeping it cosmetically sound for a longer period of time. If you want to get technical, say you build a HREW chassis/exo cage....roll it once or twice, shits starts bending, but you don't give a **** what it looks like. I would wager that the bent places will create more stress on other points and joints of the chassis, worsening with every flop or roll, maybe even breaking welds or the tubing itself, if you continue abusing it. My rig (built from HREW) isn't by any means a full tube chassis, so there are more voids whereas a full tube chassis would have much more bracing, but when I rolled off Loop Springs at Morris Mtn a couple years back (drunk and knocked t-case into Neutral.), my whole cage shifted and bent the front roof bar on passenger side (visible in pic below). It's not bad, but it annoys me because it's always the first thing I notice in pics. Was able to tweak the cage back in place with a porta power. The roll wasn't really a hard one either. And several have already stated DOM is harder to bend in a bender than HREW....this is where DOM shines and why DOM is always used for link bars instead of HREW. End of thead? ^^^ pretty much sums it up and that's just from what I've read here and my own experiences.
