[QUOTE="JDodd, post: 549039, member: 3629"] You would probably get more attention if you put this in the tech and fab section but here is what i think. [b]Any pro or cons u guys have? Also how much room between the 2 tubes is about right? 1 inch gap?[/b] I think most people do 1.5-2" gap between the rails but i would just notch a few pieces and lay it out to see what you like. [b]Would .120 wall be plenty or should j go .188? It will be 145in wb so belly will see some abuse.[/b] Do to your weight and length I would go with a .25" lower rail and a .188" on the upper one. The lower takes a lot of a abuse so the ticker tube will help keep from collapsing. [b]Or just keep it simple and do the 2x4?[/b] Personally I would rather use rectangle tubing, from a building stand point it is much easier to build off of and to get square. This will also be lighter if weight is a concern. [/QUOTE]
