making a chair out of rear coils?

[kevinpt]

so im swapping out my oem for fj/tacoma springs soon and got to thinking about making a stool or something out of them to have in the garage. i have only seen it done a few times and think it would look cool. dont know if im going to use only the rear coil or try to use the front inside of the rear to make a stool. anyone have any opinions on this little project in thinking about doing

I think it's an awesome idea. I love garage/automotive furniture. I dropped a Recaro bucket seat into a Subaru STi that I used to have and turned the drivers seat into an office chair I say go for it!

um no

this is where i got the idea but with our rear springs they would be no where near that tall

Those stools are awesome but what are those springs from? A train??

Those are train springs. I saw someone selling some once.
