    If you are determined to fix it, and it can be fixed?

    You will need to find a person to weld in a frame repair kit. That is IF the frame has enough left to be welded to?

    You didn’t say what body style you have
    Here is a link to a repair kit. Other people make them too just search around for the one that suits you best.

    Personally, I’d make sure it’s worth it before attempting it. It’s not going to be cheap if you don’t do it yourself.

    You won't get any help from Toyota.
    95 thru 99 we're bought back at 1.5x value and crushed.
    2000 thru 2004 had 15 year extended frame warranty and frame replacement.
    No 1st gen Tacomas qualify for frames due to 15 years have passed.
