I'm seeking creative diy solutions, likely Not from purists but from those of us that enjoy being creatively thrifty.
I need to replace 1-2 rear sill body mounts on my 1978 fj40 but will not be changing all the other ones any time soon. My existing DS sill horn has been mangled by rust and the body mount needs to be surgically removed. I'm going to fix the horn and will need to replace that one existing body mount. Then install a lower quarter panel patch
It might be shortsighted/cheap but I'm hoping to find a diy solution for creating a functional Body mount, in an affordable manner.... That will not be oem... Something to get me by until I swap out all body mounts.
Looking at the design diagrams on SOR and DayStar it doesn't seem like there is much to them.
My truck is not oem, and I'm happy with how the original body mounts were over the years.
Anyone have some creative hacks?
