The procedure involves modifying a specific structural component of the fourth-generation Toyota 4Runner chassis. This modification typically entails cutting and reinforcing the body mount, a part designed to connect the vehicle’s body to its frame. A common example involves addressing tire clearance issues when larger-than-stock tires are installed.
Undertaking this modification can provide increased tire clearance, preventing rubbing and potential damage, particularly during off-road driving or when making sharp turns. Historically, this modification has become increasingly prevalent within the off-road community seeking enhanced vehicle capabilities without resorting to more extensive suspension lifts or modifications.
