Bent/Twisted frame

It won't be on there. It hasn't been on both of my trucks but I received a letter about the frame for both of them. If the frame was wrecked in an accident I don't know if toyota will honor the warranty.

Anyway, take it to a few different frame places and get an estimate if it can be repaired. Laser frame straightening is a newer technology that is supposed to be pretty accurate so you might check for shops that do that.

 

It sounds like you have entered your VIN here?:

Yes I did...

 

So would it be worth it to keep my truck or is it pretty F'd and I gotta get a new truck?

 

It's so effed. I will give you $2000 cash for it.

But seriously talk to a frame guy. I'm guessing it will cost $500 to fix.

 

I haven't seen pics but can you see the bend in the frame or is it just a tweaked body mount. While these trucks do manage to bend the rear section its not from daily driving. You would have to wheel the piss out of it, jump it or haul lots of weight.

 

Not gonna lie... I have jumped my truck.. But where the bend is looks like I got rear ended really bad

It's the frame, I can see it bend right by the rear tire.

I can post photos in the morning

 

So far your argument is dwindling. You've been in a wreck and junped your truck and are surprised at wear? C'mon now.

 

^ this.

 

Self inflicted wounds...... Dude, you can't ever JUMP a truck and expect nothing to break or bend.

If you can SEE a bend in the frame - chances are, the entire frame could be tweaked and 'out of square' (so to speak). You can actually check the frame for being 'square' at home (more or less). I've done it on my jeep.

If the entire frame is out-of-square/tweaked, it may not be fixable depending on how 'off' it is.

Does the truck track straight if you let go of the steering wheel?

 

take the bed off, get some squares, levels, measuring tape, jackstands, engine hoist, and a rosebud torch and you can straighten it out in an afternoon at home. When you're done, box the inside of the frame rails, and gusset the outside of the rails. No more jumping, Enos.

 

Yeah after jumping and getting hit you fucked that pop can frame. $2000 cash. Let me know where to bring it.

 

SERIOUSLY...WOW...

next...

 

This is the bent part. But I got rear ended on the opposite side of this. And jumping a truck wouldn't have much affect on this part of the frame since all the force is in the front... Right?

My truck is perfectly fine on the road though. The alignment is perfect.

 

When did you notice a frame being bent? When was it rear ended and when did you last jump it? Something doesn't make sense on the time line.

 

Fk yea dude. Super hard landing in the rear. Is it related?

 

Jumped it like 6 years ago. Wasn't bent until a few years ago. But it was before I got rear ended. And I didn't used to offroad much so that's why I'm trying to figure it out.

But anyway, I just wanna make sure my truck isn't worthless now. Taking it to a body shop tomorrow.. Anyone know a good reputable place? But not too hard on the wallet?

 

No. You're truck is an example of the Toyota Frame Rust Warranty.

 

No it's not.

Edit: I see what you did there.
