Frame Rust Questions

So I have been looking to buy another Tacoma because I sold my last one and got a Silverado. Long story short I am not a fan of the Silverados as I thought so I am coming back to the world of tacomas.

But I have found a 08 Taco with a 6" lift and when communicating back and forth about it I got him to send me a picture of the coil overs and noticed there was some rust on the frame and what not. I know that the frames will not look perfect due to it being off road some.

I just want to know if I am over reacting when it comes to the frame.

 

Yes. You are overreacting about the frame in that picture. That is nothing.

I have more rust than that on my penis.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

What rust?

 

I do not see any rust but did see a happy weatherman.

 

My '09 had more rust than that when it showed up brand new at the lot

Here are some pictures of my 09! much more rust than that.

 

From lack of use, or from being routinely put away wet?

 

I would be very concerned!!! I have a very low mileage "09" who's frame looks like it might have been used as an anchor on the Queen Mary, (Toyota says "No Problem" I really like the Truck, a great truck in many areas, but the rust is a big issue (for me), I really find it hard to believe how well they hold their value, with so many rust issues. (I don't think anyone looks under them) jmop

 

Even though I expressed my concern about rust issues, I do have to agree, I see nothing there to be concerned with.

 

Exactly! It better have been done right!

 

Don't even see any rust in that pic...

 

Yes to both! I have been married a Looong Time.

 

i think that is just mud or dirt that you see in the picture.

 

bwahahaha... classic

 

Where's the truck located? If it's a state where they salt the roads, it could be somewhat of a concern. My 2006 has a large hole by the driver side cat. It was in NJ for several years unfortunately. Waiting on a new frame at the moment.
