Replacement Frame in 1st Gen already rotted beyond repair.

Was going to say this first piece also. Mileage means diddly in terms of the frame.

 

2 for me. I figured since he hadn't come back to this thread he was spending his time filling up PM inboxes of anyone who took issue with the tone of his first (and only) post.

 

Yep

 

He must have hit ''reply all.''

Questions asked, for the most part, were legit, not answering them tells me he probably lives on a chloride sprayed road in an area that uses a ton of ice/snow melting chemicals. And in those areas, most rides are rusting out in 12 years or so.

 

MA here, 11.5 years on the first one. 4 yrs almost on #2 and getting it Woolwaxed every fall

 

OP:
1. Did you ever take the vehicle to a rust proof place like Krown?
2. Does your truck stay outside - what state are you in?
3. Do you have other vehicles - if so, how are they faring?

 

I feel left out....I didnt get one.

 

You can have mine.

 

You all should copy and paste your love letters so that the tribe can pass judgment!

 

I agree, I would like to see what I’m missing…..

 

I got one.

 

What's The best way to find out what it's worth?

 

Part out trucks go for like 1k, maybe 2k if you're lucky.

 

Thanks!

 

Is that why the prior to '01 tacos were just crushed and not 'saved'

 

My theory (keyword) is they believed it only affected the 96-00s and realized after the fact it wasn't.

I also believe they purchased some kind of insurance to parry some of the cost on the later ones..I know my 2010 basically cost them 17K all in between the frame and rental, and my truck wasn't worth that but they never once hinted at a buyout.

 

I'll disagree wit you on this. The worst thing do to your vehicle is not spraying the salt off of it at least weekly in the winter. A heated garage will actually dry your vehicle off. It's the wet salt that eats steel.

 

Can I disagree with you on that

 

I read your post about the 2 frames rotting out prematurely on your Tacoma. You get on a social forum and complain about it and then insult other Tacoma owners that could help you. I am calling bullshit about your entire situation. Unless you have prove of this scenario you claim about, do us all a favor and go sit at the kids table. All of us adults have to think.

 

post up some pics, please...
