How-To Body Mount Chop | N70 HILUX

Finally getting around to doing my body mount chop.
1 like = 1 R.I.P. to my GoPro :'(
This ended up being super easy to do, I wasn't able to get footage off-road because of the QLD lockdown but I will get some in a future video very soon!

Good to see your back making videos mate

[@texeager3494]

[@Harro4870]

[@nicholaspallett9070]

Great video mate

[@kianm8441]

thanks mate i needed this exact video

[@User20012]

Good job mate clean as! 👌🏾 slap a set of 33’s now hehe

[@RyvalCreative]

She struggles enough just turning the 285's haha maybe after a re-gear

[@pb8582]

Sick so a 2inch with body mount chop could fit 285 75 16? Nice

[@Reaper66685]

Great job mate 💯👌

[@kyisv.8110]

Lookin Good. Is that a Factory Aluminium Toyota tray?

[@RyvalCreative]

Nah it’s from an older Mazda and I’ve modified it a bit to fit

[@user-ic9et3wc7x]

Hi mate. Great work. I need to do for my car aswell. Wanted to know what size tyres your running with what offset?

[@RyvalCreative]

Hey mate, thanks for watching my. Mine are 285/75/16 on 0 offset

[@6misery]

@@RyvalCreativehey mate do the calipers touch on 16 rims

[@exequielfavotti4349]

🇦🇷

[@bungtoro775]

Do you still move the caster forward or back to normal alignment with this chop?

[@RyvalCreative]

It’s still forward, the ucas help to correct the alignment

[@Rileysaganster]

Fuk Ye 👌

[@wildbutwaesome]

Now time for a set of 35’s

[@RyvalCreative]

hahaha maybe not

[@lachieheard8785]

So after doing thsi chop is the car no longer able to pass a road worth ?

[@RyvalCreative]

Technically changes to the chassis would require engineering and a mod plate in order to get a roadworthy.

[@michaelwright3918]

Where did you get the plates from I’m going to same size tyre and you only 0 offset?

[@RyvalCreative]

Got them online From PSR

[@RyvalCreative]

And yep 0 offset

[@sien7085]

16inch -5 with 33 tyre do i have to body mount chop ?

[@nelissamalo4500]

Pretty much any 33inch tyres will scrub

[@simongregory6996]

I have 33s on -13 and don't need a chop

[@colf-yt6573]

what happens if u don’t weld a plate onto it anything ?

[@RyvalCreative]

It would lose rigidity because it would be open on one side, i wouldn’t try running it without strengthening it back up personally

[@harry-qy2fz]

Where did you get the plate from?

[@RyvalCreative]

PSR you can order it online

[@sierrajones4681]

Wait, it’s not “road legal”?

[@kaimoylan317]

what type of welder is that ?

[@RyvalCreative]

Just a little mig welder

[@kaimoylan317]

@@RyvalCreative what brand and size ? Looks so easy

[@RyvalCreative]

I can’t remember what brand, I borrowed it off a mate but just any basic mig that runs gas would do, something around 120-160 amp would suffice. And looking easy has more to do with the bloke swinging off the end of it rather than the welder

[@kaimoylan317]

@@RyvalCreative ahahaha true mate, was your electric ? Cause it had an earth cable

[@RyvalCreative]

I’m definitely no expert on welders but I’m pretty sure they will all have an earth cable. The current has to pass through the material somehow.

[@rachelfraser7304]

RIP Gopro :( and all the spicy content that was on it. Bye.. 😭

[@RyvalCreative]

:(

[@SharrodVisuals]

Body mount chops arent road legal?

[@RyvalCreative]

Nah mate, unfortunately no modification to chassis is legal without a mod plate no matter how big or small

[@travisostrofski9700]

What size tiress

[@RyvalCreative]

285/75/16

[@travisostrofski9700]

@@RyvalCreative and they did rub?

[@RyvalCreative]

@@travisostrofski9700 they did, yeah. Mostly only when it was a bit compressed and I was also turning, just driving around on road didn’t really rub much but I also have caster adjusted and aftermarket uca’s so they are all slightly different

[@travisostrofski9700]

@@RyvalCreative so I was was to run 285/75/16 with a 2 inch suspension lift it will most likely rub under compression and full lock

[@RyvalCreative]

Yeah man suspension lift won’t mean anything once it’s compressed. So if it rubs with no lift it will rub with lift

[@smitty8370]

“Not doing this to my car as not road legal” yet at start of the video explains how your doing a mount chop to your car cause it’s rubbing 😆😆 it is legal as it’s to not cause any rubbing of driving components plus if you weld it up properly and paint it nicely no one would know anyway

[@RyvalCreative]

It’s still not legal but yeah no one would be able to tell :)

[@smitty8370]

@@RyvalCreative it’s legal where I am and have even talked to engineers about it and they said as long as the welder is setup properly no one should care as it’s in the way anyway
