Not to impune your choice of material, but how in the world has that stuff not bent like pretzels yet?

It's carbonized titaniumethylene.

Sorry, it was early and I wasn't being so nice. This is something I saw on Reddit about a year ago and it was good enough to save on my phone. :hehe:

Hey it made me laugh out loud at 6 in the morning!

The OP has probably already gone to Lowe's, bought the material, and started cutting to length........

I laughed at this.

But seriously what about unistrut? Maybe some heavy duty door hinges....

Whew. I had a feeling that was the case, but I didnt see a LOL or :doh: in the post. You had me a bit worried there. BTW, I think they were made of unobtainium.

Since Ive never made a set of bars, dont most guys make them out of 2" DOM? Guess the design and length depends on if its a drag racing or sled pulling app, doesnt it?
Ive only used Caltracs in the past.
