Front body mount CHOP!

Angry Andy · 06-07-2006, 11:06 PM

You may or may not know, there is a nasty body mount on the front of the FJ....

So tonight I decided to chop it away...drivers side is DONE!

Here are the pics....

Oh yeah, measure TWICE and cut ONCE...unless your me. I started with a small cut, then realized, Im better off cutting MORE then LESS....

Tomorrow is passenger side....if I feel good....maybe Friday or Saturday though...

Nice work, can you do mine next?

Nice work, I did the same but no, replacement plate.
BUT................. I cut the mud flap the the exact same way, over time now the , very top part of the plastic right where the cut is, starts to rise up, and stick out, hence rub, looking for a fix

Great job Andy! Looks like you will have plenty of clearance for those 285 MT/R's now!

Here's mine... passenger side

I cut mine in a straight line across....had the same problem with the mud flap so took it off...now I need to come up with some kind of flap to keep ugly stuff from hitting the vehicle.

Somebody tell Toyota they missed a spot.

It's like plastic surgery for an FJ. Looks horrifying in the process, but the end product looks nice.

Did ya have to show the cutting wheel and saws all? The humanity!!
