Huh, I guess that does look like leather in that picture.

They are vinyl seats, are stock, and fold forward because it is a 2 door, and you need some way to get the people into the back.

Well that's why I was asking... I have a 2 dr and thought if there was some way to swap out the seat frame or use leather seats from some other 2 dr vehicle, maybe I wouldn't lose functionality of my back seat. I guess vinyl makes sense too. Damn, I was really hoping that I would learn something new to do.

And anyway, morning NAC. Really don't want to be going to work today, but at least it *should* be a short day and I *shouldn't* have to go into work tomorrow.

I actually have a really nice chop saw that I use for wood, so there is no way I would use it with metal. I ended up getting one from one of those Cummins Tool sales, essentially the same as Harbor Freight, to beat on and it still works fine. It was actually set up as a metal saw, with the blade and vise. I think it was only $100 but I did get it 3 yrs ago.

get a chop saw for sure. I was in the "man up and use your angle grinder" camp till yesterday, when I happened to see metal cutting abrasive discs that fit my chopsaw (which I had only used for wood previously) and I will never go back. So much easier to get straight cuts on whatever angle you want.

id upgrade to a saw designd for metal pretty quick, that would be ok for aluminum and occasionally thin steel but put anything thick in that and youll burn your motor out in 2 sec

and a good 15" chop saw will have a handy lil vice built into it so you dont get projectiles

yeah, I probably will next time I hit the pawnshop, for now I'm only cutting the occasional piece of 1/8" angle or 1.5" pipe and I go really easy on it and take about 3 minutes to finish the cut.

Where do you guys get your gears done around here? Or does anyone have the tools needed that I could borrow for a bit and learn to do it myself? I've got the old bearings from this axle that I plan to sand/file out slightly and make some setup bearings, but I don't have any of the other tools.

Rob make sure you look at the base on that one before you purchase it. I was going to get the same one and the base just isn't up to par. I ended up with Milwaukee's 6180-20 (carefully, they also have a less desirable version with a different model number) for the same price as the Dewalt. I love the saw, plenty of power. I've cut two pieces of 2x4x.025" standing up (so about an inch thick material) at the same time and it had no issues. Anthony and Colin now also have that saw as well.
Some else to point out is the blades. I know it hurts to spend $9-11 on a blade, but the $3-4 ones just won't cut anywhere near as well. Make sure you have a spare or two on hand.

A Milwaukee will also cut thru a D60 tube :D my rigid kicks OK butt, its done 1.5" .250" wall DOM and some 2"x4" .250" rect. it got part way thru the 60 tube, but i was overworking it. the blade and metal would get hot and not wanna cut, i could also stall it with some ross force.

I pulled up and it looked like she was on flat ground.


No, unfortunately. I got a hug and she told me "she owes me." But don't worry, I'll plant the seed. (hopefully literally as well as figuratively)




Oh, ya, I ordered RuffStuff frame stiffeners today...
