Band saw, chop saw, plasma... Band saw is preferred. Makes a clean cut.

Front's still being worked on. I've got a tire carrier framed up for the rear, still haven't decided if I'm gonna use it or not.

If you look around on here and maybe some other forums, and google search it theres pictures and diagrams of mounts for the front. It's real easy

Wont work. The hooks are cast...... they will rip off first tug and might hurt someone.
