Yep, figured while I'm doing the cage I might as well.

Joe, what type of bender do you have? How far are you from Elon college? I might need to come check this out...

On the east side of Raleigh, probably 45min - hour from Elon. Your welcome to come down and hang out. We'll throw some burgers on the grill.



Nothing special but it will do:






I have about every tool known to man. My problem is I'm still in the process of renovating our current house and most of my tools are at my rental house. Maybe I'll try to get the garage squared awya this weekdn and start moving tools over.

Yea, I live pretty close to Elon.



How much does a bender like that go for?

Yes, Elon College, also a Town called Elon.

$300 with one die, each additional die is $150

Cool deal! Thanks

I can't wait to see these homemade doors....

new company: RZR-JOE Doors----"go rzr-joe or get your doors blown off". what cha think rzr-joe, can i be your maketing manager?????

At the Mt hope ride I was thinking that you were ready for some doors. I'm sure that thing covers you up with mud pretty good, plus the rocks and tree limbs hurt. Building your own may mean that you will have a few squeeks and rattles, but $125 is better than $500.



I made mine from 1/2 water pipe, the O.D. on it is about 3/4". My door skins are 16ga steel fully welded on. I would guess that they weigh about 17# each. Not as heavy as I thought they would be.



I hope this helps you come up with a plan.



Oh, and the contours of the rzr door openings are a real booger to get the bends to fit close.

Thanks Steve. Won't be any rattles and squeeks when I'm done. Unlike the commercial doors available, I view the doors are an integral part of the cage. All the door I've seen are simply meant to keep some from hitting the occupants, not for occupant restraint & protection. They will be make of 1" & 1.5" DOM tubing with bear claw latches. The top bar (1.5" main support) will lock in place with a push pin like a swing out drag car door bar. This will provide side support in the event of a rollover. At least that's the plan so far LOL

Dang Joe your serious!! I cant wait to see them.

Yamabeast = Rob.

Ron knows alot on that pipe bending. Well thats the word anyways

I wish you would quit calling me rob. I just can't figure out why you gotta keep picking on me Tbone. I've never ever picked on you, not even once. Shame on you for being such a bully.

This sounds serious. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I guess the protection is the main thing when you risk a rollover often. That never even crossed my mind when you started talking doors. I was just thinking of all that mud getting in my beer if I were in your rzr.

Hump u are da man!! On Facebook you post some funny stuff happening. That rob thing sounds like my old cell number years ago. My old cell number was one digit off from being the local holiday inn number. My friends saw me taking calls all the time from people wanting a room so they started calling giving me heck about it. I finally got the number changed years ago. That sounds like your rob thing. Don't worry bud! It's just because u are a good friend!
