Frame Patch Kit

I found a company in RI that sells a Tacoma frame patch kit for around $100 a side. I called and asked about install and they said 3 to 5 hours a side at $85/hour.

No welding experience here but I may buy myself a nice MIG welder and give it a try.

Hey, danno2001! Did you use the parts from autorust? If so, how are they holding up for you? Got any pics?

I've got a '97 with the typical frame rust issue - driver's side, from
between the rear cab support and the bed's front left corner support; a rust hole is also
just behind the leaf spring bracket (see pic). I'm thinking of doing both sides - got a buddy who is a master welder who will do the job for me if I sandblast/wirewheel the frame.

Thanks!

 

I have special 3"x5" x 1/8" L bent works great i think I had a whole 4'x8' sheet bent for less then $100.00

Just remember to drill a nice drain hole in front of the spring hanger

Have your friend make his own pieces it will be much cheaper.

Doing the prep work is 95% of the job!!
