Pry could but I want one about 2' deep and built so I can use my existing holes so im not filling them in and drilling a bunch of new ones. Not to mention ...I can buy the aluminum to do it for under $300.

On the ones from Extreme, the main hoop is 2", the guard tube on the back is 1.25", and the support tubes are 1.5".

Pretty sure they are all .120 wall, I know the guard tube is at least. I can't see them being much thicker than that.

...and the tubes that make up the seating/standing area are .75 x 1.5 (I think, can't remember for sure) oval. The long sides of the oval have a recess for putting down no-slip tape.

Not in the market for anything but the cup holders in the one on ebay is pretty slick. I've never seen that.

Thanks for the info deezy. Any idea how far apart the seating tubes are apart? The diameters your giving are OD not ID correct?

Great deal if he's willing to ship. Thanks northernoffshore

Yeah, OD. The seating tubes are probably .5-.75 apart, give or take.

I used to have a picture that had all the stuff pointed out but I can't find it at the moment.
