    IDK if it will help but maybe some pics and a letter to Toyota corporate would help. This has to suck for you i know i'd feel sick as well

    I doubt it would help. There was a judgement against Toyota for an inferior part. I still have that same part from the effected year, it should still be replaced, but F me because of a 12 year limit. A faulty part is a faulty part. Not sure I can afford to get it fixed. Just worried about when the frame will actually break and become un-drivable.

    Yeah, I noticed that. it’s been on there for 10 years and was snugged up against the bumper. I figured that would happen. Never planned on taking it off, but it needs a coat of paint.

    Seems like poor form to bag on the “overlanding” crowd, the get upset when people comment on your removal of your cvs. True, the bulk of the overlanders do it for looks. Style over function. Arguably no more ridiculous than removing ones cvs because “it looks clean.” Style over function. Everybody uses their truck differently. Who cares what someone else does to their truck?

    Also what is it with overlanding. When did that become a thing? Like it needs a fancy name. Camping. It’s called camping.

    Looks sort of similar to mine, 2 years ago, although a different location.... I was deemed eligible for a Warrantee frame.... I was told then that I was part of a "2nd campaign" on the Frame Rust recall thing.... Best of luck...
    Here is what I experienced. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...tional-cost-to-expect-from-the-dealer.546565/

    Thanks.
    I got them because I thought they had the correct backspacing for my tires but they don't.
    I ended up liking them so got some wheel spacers.
    Steel :)

    So, the wife thinks I should paint my wheels black.
    I like them the way they are.
    What do you think?

    To me, they look great just like they are. I had a set on the first white tacoma I had and did not like that color with the white. With your body color they look spot on to me

    If you are really wondering if you would like black or not clean one of them up and plasti dip it black. If you like it paint them if not you can peel the dip back off. I did that with some gunmetal grey and didn't care for it either with white so just peeld it back off
