Radial Arm Saw trumps Angle Grinder

Ever since I was a little kid, the sound of that thing firing up makes the hair on my neck stand up...

Glad you got'm installed, too bad about the carnage. How hard was your Steering stabilizer to get off, and what are you refering to when you say "the steering elbow"?

Has anybody ever had problems with the ball joint spacers? I have a rear shackle lift and wanted to relax the t bars a lil bit to flex better. would this be the way to go?

I finished mine two weeks ago. Ball joints were way hard to pull, but they finally gave way. Pressed the studs out in two minutes flat. I used a 3" air cutter to remove the material from the Upper arm, it's alot smaller than the angle grinder. First side took to long, but the second was done before I knew it. I'm glad I did it though, truck looks great, but makes 31's look small.

What is that big metal piece?? It looks like it's bolted on the steering?

Also where exactly was the a arm cut?
