Anyone know where to get steel tubing bent?

I've seen that video. I have wood to build a jig but haven't had the time to build it. A bigger problem is I don't have a work table heavy enough to not move during bending. If the price is right, I'll pay to have it done.

Go to literally any metal shop and they will do it

Any fab shop should be able to handle that very easily.

We also bend structural shapes such as 
angle, bar, beam, channel, and square or rectangular tubing.

I'm with you on that. Front L & R wheel bearings on my 97 Tacoma need changing. That's a big PITA, so I gave it to my mechanic this afternoon. It's well worth the $600 he's charging me. Much, much, much Botheration.

Are the 97 Tacoma wheel bearings a composite unit that press on to the splined housing that then bolts to the spindle?

If so, most auto parts houses only sell the bearing and you have to press out the splined part. Blupitbearings.com has the entire system already pressed together. Had to do my wife's 4Runner...let the mechanic do the first one..and then once the noise hadn't stopped, I decided I'd save some money and do the other one. Ordering from Bluepit was a breeze and the work wasn't bad (but I did have a 1/2" impact to help).

No, mine is 1st generation. What you described is on the 2nd Generation Taco's.

I'm thinking BluePit, might be a guy located in Marion Al. When I knew I was going to need new bearings, I started researching and found his post on TacomaWorld.com LINK .

At the time of his post he was getting $170 per side for 4x4 hubs.

Here's a post from (TTORA) that convinced me to pay to have it done.

Busting Tacoma knuckles apart is a real bitch and a half. Unless you have a big arse press, say 50 tons, I suggest you take it somewhere and let them do the suffering. Belive me it's worth the money. One of mine took over 30 tons before the bearing assembly busted loose from the spindle and I do mean busted loose. It finally exploded sending roller bearings flying all over the shop. Even then I still had to carefully cut one of the bearing races off with a Dremel tool and cutoff wheel.
It's as if Toyota goes out of their way to make screwing with wheel bearings difficult if not impossible. Even their rear axle bearings are an unnecessary PITA. One of the reasons I run Dana axles now.
