PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

So, is it too far gone?

 

No, but if it had been done yearly since new it probably would not have that rust.

 

I heard about the 1st gen rust problems. My dad thinks dealer undercoating is a ripoff...

I did not think this would happen to a 2010 truck!

 

My dad told me to get it inspected by Toyota. On hold with Thompson Toyota in Doylestown right now...

 

Do it yourself is the best way nobody is going to do as good job as you are.

 

I would say no, for photos of other frames for comparison and options see:

Beat a dead horse much?

My frame, my friends frame, we both live in salty NY. Never once coated or wasted or time with fluid film. Both frames look great.

 

No man, your frame looks pretty damn good for a 7 year old truck.

Dont listen to the debbie downers on this site. Just address that one spot and you are fine.

The rust hard on with some members of tacomaworld boggles my mine.

 

What year is your friend's Tacoma? I think Toyota got better about protecting frames after 2010. At any rate, I wouldn't call spending a few bucks and a few hours to protect a $30k investment "wasting time".

 

Still bringing it to the dealership tomorrow for inspection... If it checks out fine, I'll treat the spots and get it undercoated...

 

I would not do anything to the frame, until Toyota inspects the frame.

Why coverup the rust, and be denied possible frame replacement?

 

Like I said, bringing it to Thompson tomorrow. Made an appointment, getting a free loaner!

 

Put some plywood beneath those ramps to protect the asphalt...

 

Glad that works for you. Live in Nova Scotia lots of salt on roads. Mine has been done yearly since new and is rust free. Two friends with newer Tacoma never done and both frames are rusted out. What would under coating possibly hurt?

 

See that yellow patina on my hood? Goddamn pollen...

 

What are those H&R springs for???

 

The what-now springs?

 

Those H&R springs. Usually lowering springs for muscle cars in my experience. Was curious as to what car they are on.

 

That was just something in my neighbor's garage that says "H&R Springs" on it...
