Body Mounts Chopped at Landcruiser Northwest

I had my FJ over at Landcruiser Northwest yesterday to get the body mounts chopped. They did an exceptional job, but they certainly weren't the cheapest. They spent a better part of the day making templates so they can reproduce it if anyone else brings it in much cheaper. They charged me for 3 hours plus $35 in supplies which came to $260 total.

Here is what they cut off:



To get this:





Looks almost stock to me...

Here is their facility in Portland:

Really clean job Biggie! Too bad they are a bit of a drive for me.

See any bumpers laying around?

They did a very nice job. I might have them do mine if I have issues with rubbing.

Nicest I've seen so far. If I was out there I'd pay that for em'. No doubt.

Re: Body Mounts Chopped at Landcruiser Northwest

That is the cleanest job done yet. Too bad I don't live in Washougal anymore, I would have them do mine in a heart beat. Now I have to find someone out here that can try and match the artwork done there. Well done...

Nope. But I did talk to Matt about them. Update here.

Re: Body Mounts Chopped at Landcruiser Northwest

Matt even talked about doing a pre-fabbed mount, so you could just cut the Toyota mount off and weld up the new one...

This morning I put my 295's on, and it doesn't look like they will even rub the mud flap (which I didn't modify)! Oh well, I guess I have extra insurance

Thanks for the pictures. I'll print them out and show them to the guy who's going to trim mine.
