What YOU Need to do to Fit Bigger Tires on Your Tacoma, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, and Tundra! CMC BMC

[@firemedic5170]

Some beautiful weld work right there 😍 Thanks to the insane level of pride that you and channels like 88Rotors take in their work, I’ve found it damn near impossible to find anyone local that comes close. Any recommendations for reliable offroad/ overlanding shops on the west coast of FL? 🍻

[@acefaaace]

👍🏾 got my 4runner done with 88. They do their work quick, but the quality is top notch for how fast it gets done.

Appreciate the kind words, don't know any shops in Florida though.

Thank you for doing my chop! Clearance for days now!

Of course! Thanks for the support! 🙏😁

I really like the look of these plates but, will there be a bigger chance of rust since the logo goes all the way through allowing water or debris? I'm stuck between these and just a plain plate.

[@Runnin4Tacos]

If painted properly with Steel-It then there won't be any rust

DRT Fabrication cab mount relocation kit is a must for 35s

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Not a must. None of our 4Runners at our shop have it or the ones we've installed the round plates on. We all run 35s

[@merkinyall]

I just chopped my cab mounts clean back on mine and I never come close to rubbing 35’s

[@zlothra]

DRT does make a nice mount relocation. Going to get it soon

Thoughts on Wescotts lift kit on stock suspension for 3rd gen Taco? Trying fit 285/70/16 on TRD Pro wheels. Thank you.

[@Runnin4Tacos]

I think they are decent and will do the job until you decide to change out the shocks

[@ri_taco]

Did you use a sealant on the pinch weld or just undercoat it?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

We just coated it.

[@arimadx]

So since the bottom of the cab mount is open anyway. In theory couldn't you just chop it and not weld the plate on?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

You could. It just looks a lot cleaner with the plate.

[@cullenkelley1059]

How in the world do you manage to weld that inner gap?

I’ve tried finding the answer to my question on a few different platforms now and have not had a single response 🤷🏽‍♂️. I bought a 2019 Tundra that already has 35x12.5R18 Cooper Discoverer STT Maxx tires on it without a cab mount chop or body mount chop. I have absolutely ZERO issues with rubbing. I believe the previous owner had a leveling kit installed as well as wheel spacers. Can someone please tell me why I’m able to run 35x12.5’s without doing this BMC?!! Thank you in advance!!!!

[@michaeljacques7336]

Because it's a tundra not a Tacoma. A Tacomais a mid sized truck a d a Tundra is a full sized truck, the tundra has larger wheel wells then a tacoma. I believe the tundra came from the factory with 33 inch tires. most tacomas came with 29-inch tires so going to 33s is a big change.

Thank you for the response. However.. neither of you actually answered my question.. hmm..

@@michaeljacques7336 it seems as if the only way to fit 35” tires on a Tundra is to perform a body mount chop.. am I wrong?

Crazy to have to do all that to clear 33's and at what cost$? Plus $3k to gear for the bigger tires.

This isn't true. Im running a 2" bilstein lift and fit 33's on my TRD pro wheels. Feels fine on the road without a re gear and only had to do minimal fender liner reforming to fit the tires.

This is one of those moments where y’all probably take the mods too far. At some point you have to come to the conclusion that you now put yourself at more risk (cutting cab mounts) just for the sake of larger tires. This isn’t safe and I love mods. Just getting a different truck if you want bigger tires. This is honestly just too much.

[@bakedkalechips69]

You made a claim with no explanation to back it up. What's the risk?

[@Runnin4Tacos]

This is an extremely common thing in the off road community. Chopping a cab mount is not dangerous in any way. We are not messing with the cab mounting bolts or bushings at all, we are simply taking a small piece of metal off of a big chunk of metal.
