Fun Buggy Tubing Bended Tube

When bending HREW, take into consideration where the seam is compared to the bend. Most fabricators are in two distinctive camps; either position the seam on the inside of the bend or on the side, but never put it on the outside of the bend. If you are building a cage, bumper, frame, or rock sliders, always try to get the seam of the tubing (whether round, square, or rectangular) facing toward the inside of the vehicle where it is protected from abuse. Since I'm using DOM this is less of a concern, but because some DOM still has the seam visible, I will adhere to this advice if possible.
