WIKIBB BMC Body Mount Chop Kit for Toyota Tacoma 2005–2021 — 2 Pack, 45# Steel Plates for Extra Tire Clearance

WIKIBB BMC Body Mount Chop Kit replaces the factory cab/body mount plates on 2005–2021 Toyota Tacoma models to create extra tire clearance for larger off‑road wheels. Upgrading your Tacoma's body mount chop plates is a common modification for drivers fitting bigger tires or adjusting suspension geometry. The WIKIBB BMC plate set is engineered specifically for 2nd and 3rd generation Tacomas (2005–2021), built from tougher 45# steel and sized to work with stock mounting points after welding. This product listing covers what the kit does, its dimensions, installation considerations, and whether it suits your build.

How do these body mount chop plates free up tire clearance?

These plates shorten the effective height of the cab-to-frame mount, lowering the cab relative to the suspension and creating more room between the tire and inner fender. That helps prevent tire rubbing when using larger aggressive tires or when running altered suspension travel. They are intended to be welded in place as a permanent chassis modification.

• Repositions cab mount to provide measurable clearance for larger tires.
• Designed to reduce or eliminate inner-fender tire rub under articulation.
• Works with common lift/suspension setups when measured and fit correctly.

What are the plate dimensions and material specifications?

Each WIKIBB BMC plate measures 5.7 inches long, 2.55 inches wide, and 0.39 inches thick, matching size profiles used on many 2005–2021 Tacoma frames. The plates are laser-cut from 45# steel, which is stiffer than mild steel used by some aftermarket options and chosen for longevity under load. Always verify your vehicle’s cab mount dimensions before purchasing to ensure fit.

• Length: 5.7 inches; Width: 2.55 inches; Thickness: 0.39 inches.
• Material: 45# steel for increased strength and durability.
• Sold as a 2-pack—one for each required mounting location.

How is the WIKIBB kit installed and what tools are required?

Installation requires cutting and welding to integrate the new plates into the cab mount area; it’s a permanent chassis modification and should be done by a qualified fabricator if you are not experienced. WIKIBB provides detailed installation instructions and visual resources (photos and videos) to guide the process and list recommended tools. If you plan to DIY, ensure you have proper alignment, corrosion protection, and torque checks after reassembly.

• Requires cutting/welding—professional installation recommended for safety and fit.
• Includes step-by-step instructions and reference images/video links.
• Typical tools: welder, grinder, measuring tools, jack/stands, and rust protection supplies.

Will these plates affect ride height, alignment, or frame integrity?

When installed correctly, these plates alter the cab-to-frame seating and can change perceived cab height and suspension geometry, so follow alignment and suspension checks after installation. Welding must be completed with proper technique and plated areas protected from corrosion to maintain long-term frame integrity. If your build includes large lifts or nonstandard frames, consult a fabricator to confirm compatibility.

• May change cab position slightly—follow with alignment and suspension inspection.
• Proper welding and corrosion protection are essential for durability.
• Confirmed fit for most 2005–2021 Tacoma cab mounts, but verify before purchase.

Who is this for? The WIKIBB BMC Body Mount Chop Kit is aimed at Tacoma owners upgrading to larger off‑road tires or modifying suspension who need reliable, heavier-duty chop plates. It’s best for experienced DIYers or professional shops comfortable with cutting and welding frame components, and for those who have confirmed the 5.7" x 2.55" x 0.39" plate size fits their vehicle. If you want added tire clearance while using 2005–2021 Tacoma mounting points and prefer a robust 45# steel option, this kit is a practical choice.

FAQ

Q: Will these plates fit all 2005–2021 Toyota Tacomas?

Q: Do I need a professional to install the WIKIBB chop plates?

A: Welding and frame work are required; professional installation is recommended unless you have welding and chassis experience.
