I was pressed for time as the day winded down so I didn't take a picture of the prep before I installed the plating. But here it is and that kind of welding takes forever. As you can see the curved edge is welded to it. Once you start welding that curved part you can use your hammer to bend the rest of the curved part and the outside cab wall closer to the steel. The steel plate is straight and bending the cab against it straightens things out a little bit more while you are welding it up tight.

Yeah this is 100 times stronger than the factory Tacoma cab and fender supports.
