    Looking to buy my second Tacoma (had a '13 SC 4x4.....then had a kid). I'm looking at a 03 DC TRD with a little rust on the frame. Guy was very upfront about the rust saying it's only in the few spots he sent pics of. The truck looks very clean and the price is right at 140k miles. Preview attachment IMG-0470.JPG

    Hopefully I attached the images correctly and hopefully I'm a future full time member in the next few days! Let me know what you think.

    I wouldn't touch it but if you inspect it personally then go for it.

    It looks a bit more than minor surface rust.

    I had a 03 that received a frame swap. Although that was great other rusted items made life more complicated. I suspect there are some other rusted nuts and bolts
