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!
How did that work?! I have a 01
i guess Im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Abram Drake instablaster :)
@Braylen Alejandro thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Short, simple (but detailed), and straight to the point. Thanks!
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.
Thanks for the support! We definitely wouldn't want to take the risk using an air hammer. Too much potential damage for a result that could be safely achieved with a few smaller cuts and welding the plate on.
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.
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
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?
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.
you dont make any sense
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?
I just pulled it back and knocked seam over and put liner back. I did have to heat the liner to kinda flatten it a little where seam made it stick out.
Your video it’s so helpful 👏👏👏👏
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.
What lift you have and wheels? What kind of UCA you running. I tried that and can only get 2.1 caster and still rubs some
@@jeffroberts2279 Bilstein 5100s at max with 3/4” Toytec spacer on top of strut top plate. 285/75R15 BFG KM3s on 16x8 Methods. Total Choas UCAs.
@@ratcamarogotcha…I put eibach stage 2 coilovers with freedom uppers. 17x9 fuel wheels -12 offset with 285/70/17 K02’s. Mine rubs pretty good. Had it aligned several times and the most was 2.1 caster
@@ratcamaroyou don’t have problems with your cv boots with all that lift on front? I done replaced a boot and only have 2.75 of lift
@@jeffroberts2279 Never replaced a CV boot. I have 97,000 miles.
Well, you made it look easy. Should be fun
where are you located ? i have a fj cruiser needing some work
How much for this cmc! Definitely the best job I have seen yet!
I just called 2 different 4x4 shops in Nashville. One quoted $350. The other $400. No thank you! Just ordered a flux welder from Harbor Freight for $160($40 discount) It normally runs $199. It can weld up to 3/16" thick steel and has pretty good reviews. Long story short.... I'll do it myself for nearly half the price and have a welder for future projects. Win win!
What type of cutting disc did you use on your angle grinder?
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..
i hear 3 inch lift for 285
What is the brand and model number of the light you have install in the wheel wheel to light up the project?
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!!!
As someone who is about to do a couple of these as a job, I'd like to know as well
great explanation on this job, but I still dont get it when some people say they run the same tire and no rubbing???
Seline Ramos it’s all about the offset of the wheel. The more negative, the more it will poke out and have a higher chance of rubbing.
@@raymacias8144 i run the same wheels as in this video but with 295s and don't experience the same kind of rubbing as he did. not sure what lift height he is running tho.. but mine is 3".
I have 3in lift. I've ran
285/70/17 pro comp at sports
255/80/17 Cooper St Maxx
And never had an issue rubbing
Now I want to get 285/75/17
Using 17x9 -6 wheels
Is it worth it to even cut, or wait it out and see if it even rubs
@@JF_-sk9sc you might be able to get away with it on the street with plastic trimming but it'll most likely rub a little on the cab mount while in reverse. But you will have to do the cab mount chop and pinch weld mod in order to clear it offroading.
Can’t decide if I should do this or just go with 275s
Nice looking work
I run 255/85r16s 33s with no rub and even kept my front mudflaps.
that is a skinny 33.. if that is what you want then cool.
I also run that size love it. It does not look that skinny on the truck. I love them.

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 ..?
The body mount chop should be in conjunction with a suspension lift.
How much does a shop charge for something like that?
200 ...do not pay more
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
Personally I wouldn't use stick, but if its the only option; 3/32" ER7018 around 70 amps, move quickly and stitch it. The "stitching" shown in the video isn't actual stitching. Make 1-1.5" stitches jumping around from side to side similarly to how you tighten lug nuts or tune a drum. Source: am a certified welder
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..
Lovely
What size lift does this truck have?
I am wanted to get bigger tires and 3" lift. Would it still have a rubbing problem with the lift?
You’ve probably figured it out by now, but yes. 3” suspension lift with 33’s and BMC was required for clearance and viper cut to look cool.
Nice! Looks easy enough. Now time to go buy a welder
Thx for the tip bud good job 👍
Is this required with a 6 inch lift and 35s
Good stuff!
How can I get the template or the measurements
Where can we get this body mount plate from? Can we use this for Hilux 2016?
Bay Area Metal Fab
sheet of steel...a pen...cut the hole, trace, use same tool to cut a plate out?
Did you pull the body mount bushing out before welding or grinding?
Read on FJCruiserForums that you need to pull the bushing out before welding. Otherwise, it flames up like a roasted marshmallow.
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?
Trimming anything on your vehicle with less than a 32 inch tire is not at all reasonable on these trucks/SUVs. Think of a small lift, maybe just a 25 dollar spacer "leveling lift", maybe just 1.5-2.5 inches. I'm running a 3 inch leveling kit in front on a 2007 4runner and love it, with bigger tires, too
That will 1000% still rust .lol you have to use an etch primer 1st. Then paint
You’re wrong lol
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.
Are the sold in pairs
Yes, they are sold in pairs.
Can I buy one of those plates ?
Hey Ron, these are only sold in pairs.
What are the dimensions of these plates? Anyone know?
You should buy a set from us and find out! 😉
Would you still need to do this cab mount chop if you had a high clearance off road winch bumper like All pro?
yes, the bumper will only help the tires clear the front of the body, not the rear of the fender well/body mount
Yes, The bumper gives you clearance in front of the tire. The body mount chop is on the back side of the tire.
Thanks easy now time to pound the fj
Where would you get the mounting plates from?
buzzydj vivid racing sells them
Hell naw I'm keeping my truck stock lol. I got a 2 inch leveling kit with stock tires and I'm happy.
Lame
I am running a 2 inch lift and 33 inch tires, went to wind rock off roading and I could feel the need for larger tires to clear stuff. if you just want to bro-doze about the mall parking lots do whatever you want, put rubber bands on it, squat it, leave it stock, doesn't matter as long as it rolls down the road and makes you happy man. but for off roading stuff like this is godsend.
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
I heated mine till red and just used a hammer
Stacking tacks on top of each other is not “stitch welding” buddy.
Get a 4 inch lift and take off your wheel fenders lol problem solved lol
What size tire with no trimming?
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??
Seems like it.
You're cutting away a portion that is sticking out. when you weld in the plate it is not adding material back that you removed, only making a blocking plate of sorts.
Wear gloves please. Fingers needed.
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..
Save yourself time just buy a bigger truck
Silly. These trucks make like 265 horsepower minimum and about the same torque, all out of a reliable v6. Those are about the same as most v8 truck horsepower numbers, man. Look it up. You get a lot of truck out of these mid-sized trucks.
