Body Mount Relocation Kit - NTK FabWorks
6 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, just wanted to show you guys what I had done to fix my body mount rubbing issues forever...
I saw QuarterTiltFab's relocation kit on insta first around Sept/Oct and was about to purchase when I paused and figured I would go ahead and message the person I wanted to have install this kit, Nick Koupiaris of NTK FabWorks. I had heard about him through some fellow 4Runner friends who had some work done through him. He was the closest fab guy near me that I KNEW had experience with Yotas and I was confident he would do a clean job on this install for me. Well little did I know, he had been working on a kit of his own for relocating the body mount and offered me the option to be a guinea pig on his own kit. I was stoked and said yes. 2 months passed (we both had super busy schedules) and then I made the drive to his shop for him to burn on his new part. This is how it came out. Pretty clean IMO. He has since adjusted his material thickness and although it would be nice to have thicker metal, I am plenty happy with my mount and am not worried in the slightest about its strength. He also took care of my pinch weld and trimming some inner fender metal too. Overall great job by him and I couldn't be happier with the result. I've been running this kit close to a month now and it has satisfied all of my needs. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about doing any tire 285/70R17 or bigger (i'm running 285/75R17s personally). Here is the link for the kit Tacoma/4Runner Cab Mount Relocation Brackets — ntk fabworks |

This is awesome. With the final product being 1/4" plate, this will be as strong or stronger than OEM. Definitely will be going this route come time. Thanks for sharing!

Price ain’t bad either! May just have to grab it, although I still have spindle gussets sitting in a box I haven’t gotten around to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the post and pictures! When the time comes, I’ll be ordering a set for mine.

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain to be the difference between this is a chop plate. I’m guessing this retains more structural rigidity?

This is made from 1/4" plate and will be stronger than the stock mount when done. This is overall smaller than just the chop plate. This also comes with new poly bushings for the body mount so there is no concern with crusty old body mounts catching fire when you are welding in the chop plates. Overall, this is just a cleaner, simpler solution IMO. |

Sharing some pics of NTK Fab's work on my 2017 4R. I chose NTK after seeing this thread during my research. I followed Nick's IG and realized he was down the road in NC. Seeing the very good work he does online gave me confidence. Also, he recommended another fab guy in VA to do the install to save me the drive but that guy had relocated. In the end, I'm very happy I took it to Nick. Quality work and there were certainly details he was aware of as a professional welder that I would have missed if trying to do this DIY.
