$440 for body mount chop?

Thanks, you're a life saver because 37s and 0 offset rims are going on in the next month

 

I would suggest chopping it but not plating it until the wheels are on.

 

I follow those guys on YouTube. They do some really clean work on Toyotas.

 

So much this. I had to chop more that I thought I would have, I was glad to not have to cut them back off.

440.00 is a "we don't want to do it " price.

 

$440.00 dang add two hundred bucks more and that’s the price of a good welder from Lincoln.

 

Going with JBM Off-road in Orange. $289 otd, appointment on the 17th. I’ve got a ton of stuff this week. I’ll report back then.

 

For those who have done this to there own truck, when welding on the plate, do you guys disconnect the battery or not worry about it?

 

Please post pics when you get it done..interested on how it turns out..

 

Definitely, disconnect the battery, easy cheap insurance to protect your electrical system.

 

I did. Also, weld small sections at a time to not heat it up too much. Pretty sure you can melt the rubber bushings on the cab mount.

 

Yup, I second that, small welds are necessary. I also kept a bucket of water and rags to surround the bushing and also to dab the metal between welds for cooling.

I did a little write up on my BMC. If you want to check it out.

I did unhook my battery at the negative battery post while welding on my cab chop. It’s not mandatory but it’s a good idea.
My trucks brain, and radio, etc came back without any issues at all.
I have a Lincoln mig welder 220 Volt W/gas mix bottle.










Good luck to anyone who tackles this challenge.

 

Here's my bmc from 88Rotors (red one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0rZy5BLUvk They do nice work.

 

Where were those two areas that you cut from.... not talking about the body mount spot

 

A few inches above the cab chop are 2 vertical seams that stick out, you’ll see it when you remove the plastic inner wheel well. tires will rub, if not delt with, some people hammer thoes seams flat. (Bend them over).
I trimmed it, and then welded the seams together. Repainted black.

Small white corner is the bottom of the fender flair
bigger tires may require more need to message some inner structures.
Hope that helps

 

Got it done today. JMB Off-Road in Anaheim was great. Took under 4 hours, looks great in my opinion.

 

They did a nice job, looks great

 

Wow! They did a great job on your truck, pretty cool that there's a video of it.

 

I built mine for free with scrap steel I had laying around the shop

 

Anyone know of places that would do bmc in miami

 

These clowns don't even give a damn if they lose an eye, where are the glasses ???
