Body Mount Hop- Bad Job

[MTKID]

Props for sharing the good bad and ugly. That's the type of info communities learn from. Wish others would share as candidly the realities of experiences and mods.

Very true! No one would want to see my passenger body mount that was moved back a few inches. In my mind, reusing the factory mount, just moved back, would be the best use of OEM engineering. It looks terrible. I think it’s structurally sound but the very capable welder/fabricator did his best with my request. The driver’s side was done by an equally qualified fabricator but I let him build the mount and it looks so much better. It is the only side I post photos of

Thank you. I’m taking it to a proper Land Cruiser shop this time. They’re called OTM. They primarily work on LCs. No more pinching for pennies.

It doesn't require any specialization for "land cruisers" ... jus a decent welding outfit. I would probably just call a mobile welder. Make a few cardboard templates, trace onto metal, cut, weld, primer, paint. done.

Agreed that a Landcruiser shop is not necessarily a fabrication shop (although some are of course). I would ask the shop if they have done a mount chop before.
