DO NOT BLOCK THE INTERSECTION! Is it really that hard to comprehend?

 

I used the ramps my neighbor gave me so I could get some pictures of the backup camera wiring, and decided to get some photos of the actual frame.

 

Think you can only post 5 pics or so per post..

 

Wasn't done yet...

The limit is like 40-something photos...

 

That spot right there (lower right of the factory hole in the frame) looks like it's gonna be a nasty rust hole in the near future...I'd clean the rust off the best you can and coat the frame in some kind of protectant like por15

 

This?

 

Maybe your frame could be replaced?

yup, I've heard good things about it on here. Though some other guys that live in rust-prone states might have better suggestions, CA sucks in a lot of ways but rust is not one of them.

 

Should I try to get the frame replaced?

 

I'm not sure what the frame replacement prerequisites are for 2nd gens, but if it's anything like it was for 1st gens then you're going to first need to see if you qualify (only certain states qualify). I'd call up Toyota (corporate) and start there, they can run your VIN and let you know.

 

WTF was Toyota thinking when they designed the frames? My truck's less than 8 years old and has less than 73K miles!

 

looks like it should have been under coated 10 years ago than every year after.

 

Precisely whey they're going through yet another multi-billion dollar lawsuit related to rusty frames. Think they finally got it figured out later in the 2nd gen run but time will tell.
