Outer Limits 4x4 Board

this tray is taking too long to get off the ground as my mate is
getting bogged down with work and i dont know much about this stuff..
but will have a go.
tube benders ..was thinking ill buy one from a tool shop.
they have a 3" 16 tonne there..would this do the job!!!!!
we were going to do 2" 3mm wall thickness around the tray and
maybe 3" for behind the cab but would like to know what thickness
as i would like to run air in this tube!!!!!!!! any info would be great.

is that a cheapo bender from supercheap? or similar to the style they sell? costs $200-$300?????

if it is....the only way to get them to bend properly is to get a dawn die to use with them. the standard dies that come with them are sh*t and just kink the tube.
