How To Install Body Mount Chop Plates: Total Chaos Fabrication 

Short, simple (but detailed), and straight to the point. Thanks!

Oh my goodness! This tutorial is by far the best one I've ever seen! Thank you so so much. Time to go slap some 35's on my 03 Runner!

Solidly the best tutorial on the web for the BMC on Tacoma. Well done! I just wonder WTF Toyota was thinking in making the Tacoma so big and making it so the tire size can’t be expanded without a chassis chop. It’s as if they intentionally abandoned their most dedicated customers. I also wonder if the body mount could be reshaped with an air hammer - haven’t tried, but wonder if it’s a possible alternate solution.

top tip* use flat black/ matte spray paint to make it look factory; not a big deal but draws attention to that area until it gets weathered

thanks for vid, couldnt find anyone with 33" tires so had to put 35" on and have major rub and very little turn radius right now, will def. try your body mount chop, looks real nice. thanks for taking the time to make this vid.

Great Video, Chaos!! stuffing some larger meat under the ole 4th gen 4runner this weekend and this helped a lot!!!

Info, clearly and concise.

I'd like to have this done after my small lift and bigger wheels/tires!

That is some good welding! Not your first rodeo?

How much for this cmc! Definitely the best job I have seen yet!

Your video it’s so helpful 👏👏👏👏

Great job!!! 👍👍👍 I will have a BMC done to my 2012 TOYOTA 4RUNNER LIMITED so I can be able to run 33x12.50 tires with no problem!!! They will go on a set of FUEL 20X10 rims with a -19 offset with a PRO COMP 3" front and 2" back lift leveling kit!!! In the process I will have them also cut the front fender well rubber plastics!!! Great video it was very informative and the job was well done!!!👌👌👌 How much would be a reasonable price to have done what I just mentioned to my TOYOTA 4RUNNER??? Thank you!!!

I have a question for you. Wouldn't it be a lot cleaner and better if you just remove the inner fender well to cut the seam and then reinstall the inner fender well back? That way it looks like nothing was cut?

Just to make this easy, ground closest to the weld plate. In most cases, you can grind off to bare metal on the other side of the body mount and ground there.

I put about 4 degrees of caster to kick the tires forward in the wheelwell and the tires don't rub the body mounts anymore.

how bout when you're turning coming down or up a driveway ramp w/ the whiles fully turned and the shocks are compressed? looks like you might still rub w/ these if the shocks are soft. If they're stiff, I think you're good.

I have a 2012 Toyota TRD Sport. I recently purchased newer TRD wheels that are 17" and they are 7" wide. I put the original tire on them that are 265/65R/17. I'm going to do a 2" suspension lift with Bilstein 5100s. Is that enough lift to step up to 285/75R/17 which is about 2" taller and 1" wider? Thanks. Enjoy your videos..

Can’t decide if I should do this or just go with 275s

great explanation on this job, but I still dont get it when some people say they run the same tire and no rubbing???

What type of cutting disc did you use on your angle grinder?

Well, you made it look easy. Should be fun

Lovely

where are you located ? i have a fj cruiser needing some work

What is the brand and model number of the light you have install in the wheel wheel to light up the project?

I run 255/85r16s 33s with no rub and even kept my front mudflaps.

How much does a shop charge for something like that?

I want to do exactly this but I am going to stick weld it, any recommendations on what stick and amp to use would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Nice looking work

so a toyota tacoma and a toyota hilux has same chassy size cause every hilux in the phil has body chop if having a 285 70 r17 mags with -10 offset on a basic 2 inch lift.. hmmm im confused..

What size lift does this truck have?

Hai... if the part is cut, do we need to install any accesseories to jack up the body ?, for 16/285/75 ..?. or is that enough ..?

Is this required with a 6 inch lift and 35s

Thx for the tip bud good job 👍

Nice! Looks easy enough. Now time to go buy a welder

I am wanted to get bigger tires and 3" lift. Would it still have a rubbing problem with the lift?

Where can we get this body mount plate from? Can we use this for Hilux 2016?

I have 285/75/16 on my lx470 and no body mount chop needed. My front end is dropped down because I didn’t change over to lc torsion or ome. I have ome all around except for torsion bar. While front isn’t lifted I get no rub and it’s almost tucked.

Did you pull the body mount bushing out before welding or grinding?

I run 265/65/r17 on my 08 Tacoma but the front tires rub. I have a feeling it has to do with the offset of the wheels because they’re aftermarket. Would anyone suggest to do some trimming?

How can I get the template or the measurements

Good stuff!

Are the sold in pairs

Can I buy one of those plates ?

That will 1000% still rust .lol you have to use an etch primer 1st. Then paint

Thanks easy now time to pound the fj

Would you still need to do this cab mount chop if you had a high clearance off road winch bumper like All pro?

Where would you get the mounting plates from?

What are the dimensions of these plates? Anyone know?

Hell naw I'm keeping my truck stock lol. I got a 2 inch leveling kit with stock tires and I'm happy.

Serious if you have to tell someone how to sharpie draw the template and cut it out with scissors... they shouldn't be allowed to hold scissors... let alone perform this process.

Nice job..thought u look like Lionel Messi though..fr

Stacking tacks on top of each other is not “stitch welding” buddy.

I heated mine till red and just used a hammer

Get a 4 inch lift and take off your wheel fenders lol problem solved lol

Note to self: Don't need a BMC because you don't have the talent to do the work.

👉🇵🇷🙏👉☝️👍👎👎👎

Am I the only one that doesn't understand the point of cutting the body frame mount out just to put a piece back??

How to destroy your truck is what this video title should been I will keep my truck stock rather then destroy it not woth it just to get another bigger tire size on..

Wear gloves please. Fingers needed.

Save yourself time just buy a bigger truck
