CMC Done!

Hey guys, a great place in Mass (endangered species 4WD) hooked me up with a CMC yesterday. Great bunch of guys. Unlike many, they requested I didn't bring plates as they wanted to make their own cuts in case they don't need to cut off more than they have to. They stuffed my tires and measured how much I needed (with a little wiggle room obviously). I'm not rubbing on and off road and am happy with it but i'm only on 33's. The only question I have is I noticed mine has a "notch" cut out instead of the usual plate that smooths it out. Do people usually just put a larger plate that covers that cut and declines back I'm assuming? The notch doesn't seem to be in the way or anything to cause an issue.

 

Nice, what did the charge?

 

Should look like this.

 

Right, I'm assuming they just didn't make a big enough plate to go more diagonal and back. And instead just filled that little notch. Whatever, it works.

 

good to hear, thanks.

 

Looks good, doesn’t rub? You’re good

 

I've seen it done both ways. Smooth and notched...

 

If they went diagonal, the top and bottom would have a gap and be annoying to make a tiny fill plate/weld.

 

150-200 they orig quoted. I paid 225 because I had them look over and maintain my suspension so not sure actually what they charged for just the CMC. They do mostly Jeeps but do many chops on tacos and 4runners too around here.

 

Good to hear. Seems all I see are smoothed so was wondering about it.

 

Or, they didn't cut aggressive enough to allow for a nicer, smoother plate.

 

There's nothing wrong with that way other than aesthetics, which is personal preference.

 

Aesthetically, yes. But, how often do you stick your head in a trucks wheel well to check out their sexy cab mounts (never, I promise you, it’s never)

 

They are a great place ....that is where I will be getting mine done in June.

 

good to hear as I know you do a lot of these. I guess I just wanted to make sure it was still a good setup structurally, although either way I guess takes away from the rigidity of the mount.

 

Those guys know what they are doing, I know them very well.

 

Yeah Kyle is an awesome dude. We talked a lot while waiting. They couldn't figure out my creaking noises though. I think I'll take it back soon for them to take a better look at.

 

What they did was cut a little too aggressive actually. Right here, rather than make a nice diagonal cut for the smooth look, they cut further back. Hopefully that clears up the difference you're seeing. Nothing wrong with it at all though.

 

They are one of our vendors for our autism speak meet every year. Unfortunately it won't be happening this year but I will let you lnow about next year.
