Main Topic: Body Armor Continued
How do you prioritize what you buy or make first?
This will all come down to personal preference, but I think there are a few things to consider.
What trails do you plan to tackle in your immediate future?
What are the conditions of those trails?
Rocky, muddy, fire roads, jagged rock…Etc.
If you have a stock Rubicon, and you plan to take it through the Rubicon, you will definitely want some armor before you go.
Often times, you will find that Body Armor and recovery points go hand and hand.
Bumpers have shackle tabs or hooks built into them.
Rock sliders become Hi Lift points.
Roll cages become places to attach straps to help keep you up right in a hairy situation.
Because, most runs you ever go on, one of the first requirements will be for your vehicle to have recovery points. The factory stuff is often times junk!! So, most likely, the first piece of armor you buy will be front and rear bumpers.

Dave from Tab and Slot Episode 40
To celebrate Fabrication month High Sierra 4×4 is teaming up with Tab and Slot.com to give one lucky winner a fabrication project or their very own!
Main Topic: Tube Benders with Rogue
https://www.roguefab.com/index.php
Joe, Tell us about yourself.
Tell us about Rogue Fab.
Let’s talk Benders
Horizontal and vertical
https://www.roguefab.com/
Rogue Fabrication sells tube benders, Tubing Notchers, Die Sets and fabrication tools
Why should you buy a Tubing Bender from Rogue Fab? Price and performance. If you have shopped around you have seen what other manufacturers charge for die sets. Or you have seen the benders that don’t bend strong tubing and only bend to 90 degrees. Why spend over $1000 on a bender or make huge compromises in functionality when you could have bought a RogueFab bender and had all the features you need for less money?
