Actually the circular should work for angle cuts if it has the adjustable guard. Sorry.

I just always use a table saw.

How can I tell if the guard is adjustable? I see this in the spec's: Bevel Capacity (Degrees): 45

That's it right there, it will cut you a 45 degree angle.

Do you not have access to anyone that has the tools to do it for you so you don't have to go buy something you don't really need?

I'm looking into it, but I need a backup plan. :) I could always use more tools (within reason, haha).

Thanks a lot for helping me out with this.

Though you will want a table and some clamps to hold your material.

Ah true, that makes sense.

I usually use the island in our kitchen for that. My wife gets mad but I tell her it's my style of cooking.

Don't use a hack saw. Hack saws are for metal. If you wanted a rough cut on lumber, you'd use a cross-cut saw. The circular saw is going to be your easiest way of cutting the angles. Other choice is a miter box and saw.

If you're going to use that jack to service the differential, you're in for a shock. To lift it, you'll cover up the drain plug. If you're using the rear differential to lift the rear end ... that's kind of dangerous. Like it was mentioned before, use the jack points in front of the rear wheel openings. Indicated by the slotted points.

:confused: Why would it be dangerous? It's listed in the service manual as one of the jack points.


oh, and WTF AK, why was this moved to "Wheels & Tires"? Kind of random.

Made my ramps today, they turned out pretty good. I'll post some pictures in a couple of days when I use them.
