    use a portaband. Thats what I use these days after trying tubing notchers, chop saw method, etc. One of those pipemasters help for figuring out where to cut, but even thats not really necessary after a little practice. Its so much easier and faster. I did all the notches on the 4runner that way

    if I remember correctly, the tubing notcher was $27 dollars. The HF portaband is $60. Yeah, it isn't cheap, but its not that bad

    As long as you have something super solid to anchor it to, a beercan to make shims out of, a slow drill with a big chuck and a warranty, and plenty of WD-40 you will be fine. I have become a firm believer in the chopsaw method though.
