There is no need to weld in a piece once the cut is made for those who don't have a welder.....the mount is the strongest steel on the entire truck and still capable to hold up the body. It does look nice though if you can weld...go for it.
I would of done a more aggressive cut and made the cover go more slanted towards the bolt. Just to get even more clearance. Surprised you didnt do that
It's really not that bad if you take your time and you have the proper tools. I am selling these chop plates at my store when you're ready. Go to store.kflo-krib.com
Nice video 👌🏻 I have a question, right now I have a 3inch lift in the front and have 285/70/17 on stock rims with a wheel spacer of 1.25 inch and I don’t rub on the Mount at all even if I go off-roading.... but I’m going to but kings 2.5 with a 2.5 inch lift in the front and also a upper control arm. My question is will I rub with the kings set up ?
Hello KFlo...great video...I'm putting a 285/75/16 with 1.5 inch spacer on my factory wheels on my third gen which has Rough Country leveling struts....do you feel like I will need to attempt this chop....I think my tire size in inches is 32.8....thanks
Yea, I think you're going to have to. You may be able to get away without it if you don't take it off road. I really think it will still rub a bit though
Many people do that - it's your call at the end of the day. The purpose of that plate is a crash protection gusset so that the tire doesn't end up in the cabin during a crash
These chop plates are available at store.kflo-krib.com 🤘🤘🤘

@@KFloTacoma salamat pare!! Ill check out your store. I saw you Pacquiao poster im a big fan too.
@@KFloTacoma just bought the chop plate at your store. Can't wait to start this project.
Good stuff dude! Thank you for the order. I'll ship it out this week and you should see it shortly.
@@KFloTacoma thanks man!
I've seen guys only chop back to front of the cab mount bolt so they can weld the bottom as well. Your way looks like it gives more clearance though.

According to my past research, long travel will require the CMC. Good luck!

Nice work! What type of plasma cutter and welder did you use?
In this video, I used this plasma cutter: amzn.to/3SzQqnw and just a regular flux core welder from Harbor Freight
I just got the 3 inch kit from rough country, my wheels are 17x9 with -6 offset. Thinking about running 275/70/17 do you think I will have to do this?
I would recommend the CMC if you're planning on doing some off roading
Does this void the frame warranty? I really need to do the cab mount chop on my Tacoma. That's the only thing my tires rub on.
Technically it does :-(
may have been covered before, but am wondering about your welder?
I used a 110 flux core welder for this one
Hey do u think I can fit 35 on 3 inch lift spacer on taco 3nd gen? But with stock wheel??
I would recommend watching my "fitting 35s" video in this channel
What’s the paint and seal called. Or Can I use silicone?
I used a paint/primer combination. You can check out all of my paint and sealant recommendations on my amazon page: amazon.kflo-krib.com
Y beat the pinch weld in and not out
What happens if you don't do the welding part?
Many people do that - it's your call at the end of the day. The purpose of that plate is a crash protection gusset so that the tire doesn't end up in the cabin during a crash
You should’ve re seam sealed the pinch weld that you sliced open and exposed raw metal too nit just paint over it. Otherwise informative 👍🏼
Great idea, thanks for sharing!
needs fluid film inside frames bro
I would pay you to do mine. Legit work !!!!
Never been worried that those might shave off your tires when they rub on it?
These are really far back doesn't even touch the tires at full articulation
@@KFloTacoma how about 8n terms of the cab mount strength? Will it weaken it now that it's open?
@@vincedprincehowtodiy7705 not at all
Pretty rough looking weld..maybe you should've hired a welder..also you might think about disconnecting the battery before welding.
its not structural so it doesnt have to be good
Grinder and paint will make you the welder you ain’t 😂
