Long Travel BS Thread

~180psi iirc, all its doing is pushing the ifp back against the fluid in there to keep it from cavitating. at least that's what i run

 

Hey guys, I believe someone posted in here about this tool for cutting tubing so it will fit up against another piece. You know if you were to make a cage or a bed rack. It basically cut a half circle out of the end of the tube. I don't know what to call it or where to get it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

Tubing notcher?

You can also use an online coping calculator and print out the template. Use your grinder or bandsaw to cut off the excess.

Yes thats it! Thank you!

 

It's also really easy to do with a chop saw

 

I recently bought a notcher and used it on my cage, hated it and have gone back to chopsaw notching

 

So you just cut an angle into it instead of a rounded notch?

 

Yep cut cut and clean it up with a flapper

 

Correct. Cut two straight lines at the appropriate angle and you're done.

 

Nothing fits like a properly notched tube though. No use in buying a notcher if you're doing a few notches here and there however. I like mine, but I'm building an abrasive notcher. No more hole saws.

 

Abrasive notchers are great in theory but man do they eat up expensive sanding belts.

 

I loose patience when using a chop saw for notches. So I picked up a cheap notcher from harbor freight. It needed some fine tuning because it did't cut center. Just a couple of shims and it worked good. But it works fine for what I need it for.

Love my notchmaster. Easy to adjust and get the right notches every time.

 

Anyone have an extra t100/tundra rear axle shaft laying around they wanna sell?

 

How about a complete axle for me

 

Been going strong for over 5 years with no repairs or slop

I've got my old 8" e-locker with blown 3.73s its about an inch skinnier than the T100/Tundy swap


Comes with ARP studs

 

Ditched my Deaver F67 and went with a Deaver E30 pack. It's stink bug for now without my two spares. I have to redo my upper shock mounts due to the shocks hitting the gas tank at full drop. It will be bumped and strapped at 17". I could only pull 15" with my F67s.

 

That thing looks so light I bet it handles great
