    It’s no secret there isn’t much to a Tacoma frame. That being said I would be pissed if my new truck was in an accident and not totaled, I would of got a hammer and started swinging it at the cab and some other shit lol

    At least they are swapping a new Frame in versus putting it on the Frame Machine and fixing it.

    I think it’s pooping on you is good luck, on your car/truck is bad luck

    True to a point. Sometimes things are just never the same once you start messing with them though

    Very true! My old 2000 never felt right after they fixed the Frame and Body.

    Yea, so many times after accidents do vehicles just never feel the same. But even something as simple as taking a few panels apart, they can lose some of the finish the once had. Especially since everything is plastic now adays they clips just don’t seat as good the second or third time coming apart

    So thats a bummer for sure, a second opinion on that matter should be persude with out a doubt.


    You Navy boys shouldn’t throw stones at the guys picking you up when the bad guy sinks your canoe.

    In 2 months from now the OP will update and say the frame is replaced but it’s back in the body shop getting repainted due to the birdshit sitting on the paint for 60+ days :rofl:

    A few hours in the sun on a warm/hot day and you'll see the dullness mark as soon as it's wiped off...hence why I bought a cover!
