    I had that same grinder and it will work fine. I would still have it if it didn't get stolen

    Nice! Have any recommendations on type disc to buy? It just has a bunch of sanding discs with it so I'll need to pick a few up to cut.

    I forget how the mount for the disc is but I would use the thinnest disc possible it will cut a lot easier.

    Ok, that's what I figured. I've only used these things one time and it was just to cut off 3/8'' hilti anchor bolts in concrete slabs. I'm sure it will work fine, I just don't want to tear apart my truck just to find out I can't get those bolts off.

    I have a dewalt 4 1/2 inch angle grinder and its been awesome. Have had it for about 4 years and its holding up great. Used to use it a lot. Not so much lately with the lack of workspace :( Not so sure about the ryobi grinder. Have used one a few times and it works fine. In my experience with other ryobi tools, they are kinda cheap and not really the best woth quality/durability. But they get the job done.

    As far as cutting, i have cut up tons of shit with the cut off wheels (like such. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-...in-Cut-Off-Wheel-Type-1-49-94-4500/203112838/). I usually buy a handful at a time. You can go theough them pretty fast on big projects/thick steel. They mount on with the bolt thing that comes with the grinder

    The wheel that comes with the grinder is pretty much useless. Maybe used it twice ever. Is inferior to use for cutting or sanding in my experience. "Flap wheels" are awesome for sanding/stripping. Gets the job done fast and lasts for a while. Comes in a few grits too. They are way better than wire wheels for what ive done. And they don't leave your clothes full of tiny poky wires. :D

    Yeah I've used other ryobi tools before and they are definitely on the cheaper end of things lol. Doesn't matter to me, all it has to do is cut a few bolts and I'm good. And those were the cutoff wheels I was looking at getting. Thanks.

    Hey guys just throwing this out there. I've got an entire FXR retrofit kit with the orbit shrouds 55w 5k bulbs for sale. I just don't have the time to put them in right now and could use the money elsewhere vs it sitting my closet. I also have an extra set of headlight housings if anyone needs them for their kit. Selling the FXR kit for 400 and the headlight housings for 100.

    Ordered my OME lift today. I absolutely hate spending money haha. But it will be well worth it once it's on the truck. I hope to have it packed up and shipped by Monday or Tuesday depending on how fast Wheelers can get it done.

    Nice. I called them last night before they closed so I don't expect them to pack it up until Monday. And they aren't shipping it. I'm having a trucking company pick it up and take it to Fife. Then have PAF steamship it up from there. So it'll take a but longer but it'll save me about 300 bucks on shipping.
