05+ Official Perforated/Rusted Through Frames

Im still waiting for mine since late January. Same deal.

 

Mine literally just went in today! I will get it on the lift and get pictures as soon as it is done. They said 5 days max, but it may only take two.

 

Got it back from Toyota about 48 hours after I dropped it off. They did a really great job as well as replacing the UCAs for me, as I had them in the backseat. I can feel a lot more since it is so much tighter, but it is a great feeling driving it and not worrying. I will drive it for a few days and put it back on the lift to make sure everything is A ok.

 

Wow man, looks great! Body looks clean too. Now take the opportunity and treat the rest of the rust and you'll get another twenty years of life from it.

 

Still waiting too. Been the same time frame

 

Just failed my frame inspection. I'll climb aboard the boat now.
I didn't have any holes but there were a couple inner frame areas that slabs would come off. My old ranger was a rust bucket so I guess I'm a little immune.

Anyone know if any suspension or other parts get replaced too? I've got all my stock parts to put back on.

 

Rugged T...what type Taco did you have? I bought mine used from a dealer in MD, it was sold and services at McGeorge, just curious.

 

Now to look it up and see what all these parts are.

 

It was a silver TRD sport 4x4. Sliders were still welded to the frame and it had my decals. Also has a wilson antenna base mid-roof. Someone saw it here locally once, some younger guy had it. Not sure where it is now.

 

Okay, not the same as mine. I have a silver 09 Prerunner. Looked like the previous owner had all of the service done at McGeorge, hopefully they have a decent service department.Thanks...

 

Mine is still sitting right next to yours! I drive through the lot about once a week to check on mine.

 

Oops, my bad! For some reason I thought you had a silver Tacoma. Mine is at Hendrick's on Rivers. Have you stopped by to check on yours at all?

 

That's crazy. Here it's the opposite, Hendrick Toyota of Apex is the one I trust and takes care of us. Fred Anderson Toyota told tacopaulo that there were no warranty/recalls on his truck. The next week Hendrick addressed all his concerns, got his headlights replaced and inspected his frame.

 

Here's mine. Passenger side. Had it in to the local small shop, they called and told me about the 'crack' that's turned into this hole with a little poking. Took it in to the dealer this morning and asked what the process was when it failed (pretty sure it will). The adviser said $16k worth of work and a new frame, but I'd be on the hook for "$1,500-2,000 for stuff that breaks during like brake lines, control arms, etc." He also said they've only done 2 out of 30 inspected. Should I be worried that he doesn't know what he's talking about and they haven't done very many?

 

If you Search these threads you will find that MANY pay $0 for the frame replacement. I suggest you get this re quoted at another dealer ....

 

That's BS about being on the hook for brake lines. Here are all the parts that my dealership ordered, all of which said Warranty on the Toyota paperwork.

 

Yep. Thought so. Anyone have a good quality pdf of this document?

 

Interested as well!

 

Your bill should be $0 after this if you choose. I had a ton of stuff replaced for free labor (shocks, struts, brakes etc) only paying for parts. If it was taken off to swap out the frame, it can be replaced labor free.
