    My son owns a 2000 Taco we bought for him when he started driving. (5.5 yrs ago)
    the truck has a cap on it and is an extended cab. It has the 3z motor and auto transmission.
    The truck was in excellent shape with 114K miles on when we got it.
    Now we are noticing the frame cross member that holds the right rear muffler bracket and the gas tank is really rusted and badly needs replaced. I lifted a picture from Tacopashka to show
    the cross member I am referring to.

    Does anyone have a decent one they will sell me?
    Please don't flame me if this is a part that everyone needs as I am a new member and the truck is too nice to part out. Below is a picture of it.

    Welcome to TW...That is one nice looking 1st Gen. I hope you find what you’re looking for, I would be hitting up the salvage yards. A good welding shop might be able to help you out.

    Thanks, I have personally owner two other Toyota pick-ups; an 87 and a 94. Currently own a 2007 Sequoia Limited. Bought it new and it now has 256,549 miles on it. Love Toyotas for daily drivers!
    I attached another pic of the 2001 from the front.
