benjy_26 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Hello all. I'm going to start boogering stuff together and am wondering where you guys buy your plate and DOM tube. I'm still looking locally, but am having a tough time finding anything worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ruff Stuff isn't too bad, they ship all their tubing UPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Aircraft Spruce and Online Metals, although I've never been part of an order for Jeep things, i.e. anything bigger than 3/4" OD x 0.035" wall thickness. But both are good sources of 4130 tube. Aircraft Spruce is also a good place for getting carbon fiber materials, and Online Metals sells just about everything. If you've got a local steel recycling yard, you may be able to get decent scrap pieces from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcharge Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 If you need small quantities stockcarsteel.com has very reasonable prices and shipping though obviously I wouldn't go ordering whole sticks of DOM or anything. Most steel yards will deliver a pretty decent distance away if you order enough. The one I use will go up to 100 miles if you order $100 worth of material or more. If you can't find a local steel yard start calling local fab shops and asking them where they get their supply from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I have commercial accounts with a few different suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88AKChief Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 if youre looking smaller amounts of steel ie for a bumper or smaller projects asking your local steel yard if you can browse their drop pile. alot of time you can get decent amounts of good steel for cheap.

krustyballer16 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Alro steel. That's where my fab shop gets there's. I get it for their cost plus tax (ungodly cheap) so I don't know their actual retail prices. Mostly Midwest locations it looks like.

Blue XJ Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 We buy from Alro at work, for small stuff at home I go two smaller places around me. I usually buy from their scrap pile and get everything pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
