Cutting tools

[Axle]

Just trying to plan ahead a little.  So hopefully I'll pick up my new axle this week and I am going to start prepping it for the tj brackets.  All of the old mounts have to come off, so I am going to need some stuff to cut it off with.  Probably going to use a cutting wheel (Reg  ), but if someone know's someone with a plasma cutter or something of that better cutting nature, would you mind trying to hook me up?

for a job like that, a cutting wheel and an angle grinder is going to be your best tool

of corse!  2 grinders, just need  you to but a few wheels.  3.5 inch, arbor size doesn't matter.

i've got an 3" air cut off tool you can use

[Axle]

Thanks guys.  Reg, I'll definitely buy the grinder wheels.  Rocket, thanks for offering up your air cutter, but I don't have a compressor.  I'm planning on doing this in my garage at home, for convenience.  I'm sure if I asked Alex, he would probably let me keep the axle at the shop, but I'd rather have it at home so I can work on it easier.

sounds like fun. i want to get an angle grinder/cutter.

If anyone is interested, at home depot, they have a 2-pack of dewalt 4" grinders for $100.  They normally run about $60 ea for the dewalt ones.  if anyone is intersted in splitting buying the pack and spliting the contents/cost, let me know.

[reg]

are they both 4"  or a 4 and a 7.  i need to get a 7" one

[rocket]

both 4", both are the same model

Well, I would go halfsies with you, but big yeller is starting to make more clunking noises again.  It's the same symptoms as a month ago when I had to have the drive shaft rebuilt.  If it's what I think it is, then I'm soooooo screwed.  A new drive shaft is between $300-$500!  I'm going to take it back to Karns when they open back up, and hopefully they can do something about it.  The work I had done is still under warranty, so I've at least got that in my favor.  I've got to figure out how to adjust those control arms properly.  I think that might be affecting it, but I'm not sure.

Good luck w/ that man!  I hope its either under warenty or just an adjustent issue
