I believe it's 2005 to current. Great work. Take notes boys this is how a true craftsman operates.

Great content nice shop. I remember what my dad told me when I came home from the Marine Corps 1978. I was going to build my own house and he said don’t make the same mistake we all do. Build your shop make sure you have the facility to make you a proper living then build that house. He was right built my shop used it to build a house make a living send 4 children and a wife to college. If being your own boss and making your living doing it then a proper shop has to be step one.

Wymer’s Handy Man Service well said!

Any off-roading and it will still rub. I had to knock back the pinch weld which I sprayed with a 3M product for water proofing, remolded the fender liner with a heat gun, trimmed back the plastic on that outside edge you were showing, add finally added more caster to the UCA. It's a process.

I just did some welding today. I love welding. I do horrible with not a single lesson and using a Harbor freight MIG. Then I come in for the day and see your really nice welds and realize I REALLY suck lol.

Glad to see your doing well, that new table is sick!!

As usual you did a awesome job 👏🏻 I really like your new shop 😬👍

2005 through current Tacoma's need the cab mount chop so lots of potential customers there haha

You might as well start building complete custom cars for people. ... anybody watching your channel for sometime would see the work ethic and transparency on everything you do.

Man seeing your old shop in vids from b4 and now old looks small nice video keep them comming

This is what I want a flat bed for, thank you for your build vids!

Nice work man, always enjoy your vids.

Love the content man, your welds are really clean

Nice and simple fix. Love it.

Maybe cut out and weld up a diamond or octagonal stack with the Cummins “C” cut out of it to where you can see through the stack? Just an idea. Awesome video as usual 👌

The 5th gen 4runner as well . I'll have to get mine from you next year . Great job man 🇨🇦

Loving the content man! Keep it up!

Great ideas and great fabrication/skills!!

really clean metal work 👍

Just ordered your BMC plates for my tundra. Cant wait to get some tuning for my 06 5.9L mega cab

Another idea for the plasma table is the Yamaha banshee grill inserts they make every different kind out there you could make whatever for them

Damn you do good work man, you deserve way more subs

Keep up the Great work. Great Video.

I can't wait to get my 6 position tune from you for my 05 Commons.!

Having removed and installed my fair share of service bodies, I would love to see how the manufactuer those frame mounts, crossmembers and such, they are always the strangest shapes.

Diversity is how u make money 💰👍 good hustle guy

Awesome work, if possible the owner should dial in more caster to puush that wheel up more to gain additional clearance between the cab mount

Love the new shop and maybe some ladder bar tabs and mounts for us diesel truck guys haha

Company I worked for, for about a year-1/2 used the exact same program, drawing and cutting. But when our plasma would cut off we would have to rerun the whole plasma from start. 🤦🏼‍♂️ It was a pain but I sure do miss it.

Nice work. What band are u always listening too in the shop?

How much are the cummins logo cutouts like what is on the plasma table

The other vehicle you are probably thinking of is the 4Runner if I’m not mistaking they have the same drivetrain.

Hell yeah a yotaaaaa

Second gen rear bumper 🤘🏽😁

No way you can use mudflaps. The purpose of a cab mount chop is to gain clearance. Mudflaps reduce that clearance. Can’t run them unless you want rubbing.

A trick i use to steal accurate dimensions off stuff is take 1-3 axis worth of straight on pictures with a tape measure laying somewhere near for scale. You can drop them onto the different origin planes in whatever CAD program, scale them up or down using the tape measure, then just trace the shape. I've used it to quick mock up circuit boards for component clearance; its pretty handy.

@Cumminslife

Yup that's exactly what I did!

you should wrap a wet rag around the body bushing {if you don't remove it} when you weld it. It'll save the bushings, just keep an eye on the rag to make sure it hasn't dried out from the heat.

I did the exact same thing a few months back. but made my own plates

if you lived closer id have you do mine . great job

Do you know what type of steel is the plate you are welding? And, do you know how well the cabin mount will be reinforced after welding that plate? I believe the bottom steel plate of that cabin mount is ultra high strength steel of 780 MPa, while the top cup steel is high strength steel of 440 MPa. That is some special steel that you can't just simply weld on, as the weld heat will turn the HSS into mild steel. When one gets hit from a front corner angle, and into the cabin, that cabin mount is the thing that helps the cabin from being destroyed really bad, and the legs from being crushed, from the corner hit. Any info on that plate that you bought and the procedure? Been looking into this mod., as well. Thank you.

I need pair of those plates. Need to do my cmc.

Nice work!, What size are those tires?

Curious if the rubbing issue was fixed completely, I noticed what I thought was wear marks on the mud flaps and rubbing on plastic is often louder than metal. Did the mud flap tabs you built let it mount further back at all?

@tedbownas2748

That's what I found on my '09 Chevrolet 2500. I was getting all kinds of awful noise from the tires rubbing at full turn, and it sounded like a hard metal rub, but I finally figured out it was just a little flap of plastic. Made a hell of a racket.

Awesome vid how much did you charge the customer interested in doing this to my taco

SWEET

Awesome

Where can I get a set of those plates?

Great job!! You sound just like Steve Buscemi.

It seems that in order to duplicate the original Toyota structure , you should make your plates with slots in the shape of that square portion on the bottom and plug weld through the slots.

Are you selling the metal cummins C?

Is there anything you can't do? Lol

Hey bro I was wondering about your 6 position tunes. I got a 04 Cummins and wondering if you could set one up and ship it to me. How much would that run. 2004 Cummins completely stock. Thanks bro really like your videos

You should print out some cummins duramax and powerstroke plates in various sizes. In steel and aluminum. If you did a cummins I’d buy one in aluminum and weld it to my flatbed.

Dude don’t touch it !

why does that little tire rub matter.. if it was rubbing bad the paint would be worn...you won't own that truck long enough that it would make any difference

I would have found a way of welding (incorporating) that (looks to b 1- 1/4") tubing into the new plate,for added strength. Don't think I'd like it just floating around on the other side of that new plate. Just Saying.

He’s got a fat grinder on his ‘puter table

You would assume that whoever has the skills and tools to install those plates would also be able to make their own without buying them.
