Found out my 4runner I just bought has broken mounts due to a body lift. Has anyone experience this horrid thing? haha How should I fix it and renforce that area?

 

what did you use for the body lift???

I have never seen that before...looks dangerous!

 

I bought the truck like that. Looks like a 3" metal/aluminum BL. Me not checking it throughly came to find this out. It makes a wreched metal scrapping noise when you turn, I thought it was from the lose spare underneath the truck.

 

anyone?

 

Ouch. Personally I would just raise the body and weld on a new plate spreading across the broken hole as wide as I could without cutting into the original structure of the vehicle. I would also definately get rid of the hard aluminum and install a proper block. Or abandon the lift all together?

 

That looks like a perfect candidate for www.4crawler.com

Fisrt off, get rid of the entire BL and replace it with a shorter (1-2") Poly Urethane BL or just get rid of it altogether. Either way you should also replace the original body mount bushings with poly bushings: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...l#PolyBushings

Like wrenchmonster said... get/cut a plate of metal (as big as possible) that will lay over the broken mount and then drill out a large enough hole for the bolt. Good luck.

 

Hey did you ever fix this? I have the same problem, just trying to lay out my options here
