Agree a 100% Acefab-And a valuble 2 cents. Most of us just aren't engineers!!! Stock buggies from the factory are mostly 16g-14g ERW that I've seen. For simplicity and room for error on incorrect bracing and critical load points for the DYI guys I still would recommend DOM thick wall. Most of us are not certified welders either so imperfections there come into play when strength important. I error on the heavy side when I'm not sure about something- but that's just me!!
