Why all the hate for monster towers?

[haugy]

no, that completely makes sense, and seems like a great idea. I wonder, if I do the same thing with steel, if the paint will wear off at the bearing surfaces and I'll get rust problems.

Thanks for all the help, your advice (having done it already) is super helpful.

Teflon paint might help wear and rust prevention.

In reference to Monster Tower... XTP and Monster are one in the same now and if I'm not mistaken, XTP manufactured all of the towers for Skiers Choice at one point. They're pretty solid towers IMO.

You can place nylon rings in between than the rust is almost to zero.
And not tighten the nuts to fast. I dont collapse my tower much.

man, you are full of great answers. A nylon or teflon washer in between is a perfect solution for that issue.
