[@RicardoRodriguez-vo2cs]

Thank you! This video built up my confidence to finally finish the cab mount chop on my Taco.

[@KFloTacoma]

Awesome good luck! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@RadioReprised]

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.

[@Taco19878]

Good to know. About to do mine until I can weld a plate

[@grizzlys91ify]

So how far from the frame do I wanna start my cut????

Perfect timing…👍 video…I’m rubbing on front plastic also….guess I’ll heat w heat gun try to bend iut

[@87sport]

may have been covered before, but am wondering about your welder?

[@KFloTacoma]

I used a 110 flux core welder for this one

[@johnreysheila9803]

You made that look easy. I need to to that to my truck soon

[@KFloTacoma]

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

[@jangzo]

Been watching a lot of your videos man. Really great and informative content. I love it. Also great store!

[@KFloTacoma]

Awesome, thank you for watching and supporting the channel!

[@Rydrdg]

Nice work! What type of plasma cutter and welder did you use?

[@KFloTacoma]

In this video, I used this plasma cutter: amzn.to/3SzQqnw and just a regular flux core welder from Harbor Freight

[@rcobsession]

Awesome video man! I’m doing this on Sunday and it helped me tremendously 😎

[@KFloTacoma]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! Best of luck with the work!

[@BlueSTI]

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

[@kevinm255]

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

[@KFloTacoma]

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

[@Sam-lf6xu]

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.

[@yonatandiaz417]

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 ?

[@KFloTacoma]

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

[@ttl-k-fitness1779]

Hey do u think I can fit 35 on 3 inch lift spacer on taco 3nd gen? But with stock wheel??

[@KFloTacoma]

I would recommend watching my "fitting 35s" video in this channel

[@doyleredwine1683]

Loving your vids bro

[@KFloTacoma]

Glad you like them! Please share my vids w your tacoma friends and help my channel grow

[@jackieshoffner1078]

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.

[@KFloTacoma]

Technically it does :-(

[@jacobkolodziej7055]

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?

[@KFloTacoma]

I would recommend the CMC if you're planning on doing some off roading

[@yonatandiaz417]

What’s the paint and seal called. Or Can I use silicone?

[@KFloTacoma]

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

Great video 👍

[@KFloTacoma]

Thanks brother! Please share my vids w your Tacoma friends and help my channel grow

[@OMY2FYB]

What happens if you don't do the welding part?

[@KFloTacoma]

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

[@Strykerchan]

Y beat the pinch weld in and not out

[@TheBpotsy]

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 👍🏼

[@KFloTacoma]

Great idea, thanks for sharing!

[@Foreverfront]

needs fluid film inside frames bro

[@marcmamboyo]

I would pay you to do mine. Legit work !!!!

[@vincedprincehowtodiy7705]

Never been worried that those might shave off your tires when they rub on it?

[@KFloTacoma]

These are really far back doesn't even touch the tires at full articulation

[@vincedprincehowtodiy7705]

@@KFloTacoma how about 8n terms of the cab mount strength? Will it weaken it now that it's open?

[@ZoolyandZaire]

@@vincedprincehowtodiy7705 not at all

[@-n_hunter8403]

Pretty rough looking weld..maybe you should've hired a welder..also you might think about disconnecting the battery before welding.

[@garettjohnson2234]

its not structural so it doesnt have to be good

[@Yettee0201]

Grinder and paint will make you the welder you ain’t 😂
