so i was wondering if the people who have used 1.5x1.5 1/16" tubing have had any problem's or not. i wouldn't think they would but i'm getting ready to get some steel and was just checking.

i used 2x2x1/16 and it worked great, i can't imagine 1.5x1.5 would be a big change.

yea, i've alway's overbuilt stuff especially when i was building rockcrawling trucks. seeing how this stand will never really move i'm thinking it will be good, and save alot of money on the steel.

You got an up close pic of your gas tubing?

I used 2 x 2 x 1/16 wall steel tubing myself. The only thing I might have done differently is cut the gas bar shorter and tig weld cover plates on the ends of it to bring the OAL to Lonnies specs. Then weld the assy to the Brutus frame. This would insure an easier leak proof seal of the gas bar assy. If you over penetrate during Mig welding in the corner of the gas beam you've got problems with out having covers sealing the gas bar....YMMV good luck...
