Cut and weld truck frame?

[Lumber_Jack]

So I need the edge of the body mount cut back on my FJ. It's very commonly done to fit bigger tires and reduce rubbing.

They sell pre cut plates to weld back. I can cut it, just can't weld it back.

Anyone with suggestions on quality shop?

Yeah I hear ya.  I called them, they are great for sure.  I'm thinking about doing the cutting myself, then take it to them to weld

EOR does really, really good work.  I'd use them for sure.

What are you located?

Why does everyone keep asking for advice on where to get things done?  We can fix anything with a TGO meet and free booze.

 

Problem solved.

Couldn't see directions on my phone... but if it's like all the others it's not a big deal. Any decent shop can handle that sort of thing, race shops do that kinda stuff all the time

Only advice I have is to steer clear of 4 Wheel Parts!

No chance in hell they'd ever touch my truck

If you can cut them and get everything ready, maybe looking for a portable welding service would be best. I don’t know of any, but I see trucks all the time with welders on the back of them. Might be cheaper than trying to get it to a weld shop.

We can do this at my shop if you can't find anywhere you would rather have do it, just need to find a night/weekend we both have off.  :cheers:

sweet, I ordered some precut plates from the link in the OP to use for cutting templates and to make re-welding easy. I'll hit ya up and se if we can coordinate times, if not, no big deal.

I've told you we have an unexplained soft spot for FJs. No matter what's in inventory I'll always find the FJs tend to make their way inside.

Haha, not yet, rain yesterday ruined my plans. Still waiting on the pre-cut replacement plates to arrive so I can use them as templates.
