    150s are nice. Don't blame you for going that route. Especially with Toyota giving you the finger and telling you to pound sand. Mines a 2010 and I'm already worrying about mine.

    Techoma has claim on that atm

    Suggested to my brother that he gets his frame sealed now while its dry outside. Keep the moisture from between the sandwiched plates
    If someone local w/ a SS that wants it ill swap

    Yep. thats how it happens. Want to keep mine for a minimum of 10 years total from build date. - Thats 2015 so a couple more years. Then it would be a NEW one for me, and I would be able to keep track of all the issues myself from day 1. I bought mine from family. To them, their idea of a vehicle is drive it, take it to the dealership for normal maintence. Anything wrong, they pay the dealership to fix it. No one ever mentioned all the rust to them. That is, til I caught wind of it and decided to buy it from them.

    If this truck's meaning in life was to save some other ones... so be it. Hope this shit dosnt happen to anyone else. I had zero intentions of selling it until it fell apart. Except I didnt expect that to start in 7 years
