    Anyone have a cheapy tube notcher that I may barrow? I have everything I need to install my in cab cage except a tube notcher. I rather not buy one since I just need it for this project.

    I'm in Los Angeles.

    Thanks!

    just a couple comfort items.
    I have one of these still in one piece more or less. your welcome to borrow it if you want. But for the price if it may not be worth the drive. That's less than I paid 3yrs ago

    You think you won't need the notcher again but you will. Go buy a good one like the Pro-Tools or JD2 one and thank me later.

    Hitch and wiring, aux back-up light, rear strobe lights, radio and underseat sub.
    There's always the hole saw method. Works well if you don't have crazy angles.
    Or just mark the tubes and use a cut off wheel.
    Good for one project. Tedious and time consuming for large or many projects. You just need to be good with a pen and grinder.

    it works great! I don't know how I got by with the HF notcher for so long... It notches a lot quicker too.
