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

Yeah, here too.

 

Lol. No.. thats what the dealership gets paid

 

15k for a brand new frame?!

 

I know on my 2008 regular cab the total was a shade over 11k. Maybe 11,400? Frame and parts were approximately half of that.

 

This is unfortunate to hear..

I have an 01 with retarded amounts of rust; these costs for repairs would be worth more than the truck itself. Is there no other options for frames with substantial rust?

 

Find a totaled truck with a good frame and put it under your truck…? The title stays with the body!

 

Safe-T-Cap might be an option:

So I actually have another Tacoma of the same generation but its in good condition and runs great.

What'd be the cost of swapping out for a totaled tacoma's frame? Or would it be more financially wise to part out my working taco down to the frame? I figure either way I'm eating ice sandwiches for a while but any information helps.

 

I've scrolled around their website before. My concern is if would bring the integrity of my truck back to 100% or if its a temporary fix.

 

I’ve got no idea; With the prices of everything these days, probably heart attack inducing…

 

Got another accessory; Taillight guards!

 

Did you start driving and the wheel popped off?

 

Here we go again; Currently at the scrapyard running an errand for work, and I guarantee you it’ll be working fine when I leave the truck for a couple minutes and the restart it…

 

Yup!

 

I’d say I made it about a quarter mile…

 

Frame came in about 2 weeks after it was ordered. They said it should take about a week to do everything. So we’ll see. They just started yesterday.

 

In all mine was 17K for my 2010 single cab, just done last month. I don't have the itemization of charges, I am sure the 3 months of rental was included. I've heard 12-13K for the actual job..which TBH I think mine is booked at less..

That sounds about right. Mine was 4-5 days with 2 techs.

 

Guess I'm selling a truck or pulling a loan, maybe even both.

 

Lucky that ended as well as it did.

 

Yeah; I’m lucky I didn’t leave any skidmarks in my pants!
