    Looking for 2 cross members for 96 Tacoma - Anywhere I can get these beside dealer?

    They want a bunch of money for these at the dealer. Crossmembers I'm looking for are 6 and 7 in diagram below.

    if those are welded on I doubt you can buy them anywhere else unless you buy a parts truck to get the whole frame

    if they bolt on, then try car-parts.com

    I think I got Quotes for around $250.00 each but it has been quite a few years.

    Make your own.

    Actually looking for one that is furthest to rear as that is bolted on.
    The one under the cab is welded.

    Any idea on where I can get a photo or detail of the fuel tank connections and straps? Putting it back together and want to get it right!

    Thanks

    I just did this to my 02 Taco 3.4 4x4 SR5. Up here in Canada I called everywhere I could to find #7 cross member, the one that holds the gas tank up. I could not find one if my life depended on it. So I fabricated one out of square stock after dropping the gas tank. Reassembled it and took it to the garage for inspection and passed! If you or someone you know can weld and can get some square stock the gas tank is not to hard to drop, maybe a few hours and then fabricate your own cross member and you should be fine.

    Doesn't someone like BudBuilt make, or made, new crossmembers to use for a skid plate?
