Body Mount Chop Welding by Bozly !

John over at BoxTec in Alameda has graciously offered to weld BMC's for folks. He says that the 3rd of March (Saturday) is looking like a good day to do it, or possibly a later date.

If you'd like to get yours done he asks the following:

Have the cut done and the cap prepared. The cap material should be at least 10 ga (1/8") if not 3/16" steel. There is a template that works pretty well and BZ knows how it works. If anybody still needs the BMC done, you should talk to BZ and have that done before the welding date. If its done right all it takes is a straight piece of flat bar.

Post up your name here and state if you only need the cap welded on, or if you need the BMC and the cap welding.

Thanks everyone, and thanks especially to Bozly !!

When does this procedure become a necessity? What would this limit me to if I do not get it done?

If you do not plan to run bigger tires there is no need to get a BMC. That would be the only limitation.

So any size taller or wider would require this?

Usually the next step up would be 285 or 255. So in a sense, yes but every tire is slightly different. Some rub more than others.

I do believe that IPA and/or BBQ would suffice as payment ;-) but you should check w/ BZ or Bozly to see what works best...

Sign me up. I need the full meal deal and won't be able to have the pre-work done. I'll need specific location address and time to meet up. I plan on running 255-85-16 once this is complete. I don't have a lift. Can anyone confirm this will work iwth no lift? Thanks.
