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!

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?

Hey Guys,
Been a listener for a while. Would be great to get your perspective on the clubs you run in and the different types. I know up here in the Sierra foothills there are family clubs, hardcore clubs, etc. I’m new to the Jeep experience and having a great time, but looking for a club that can teach a newbie how to have fun and wheel properly. Now that Greg’s rig is getting fixed up for SEMA, that puts a damper on my idea of doing some light wheeling with him and my 2015 stock JKU!
