    Hey everyone!

    Just wanting to introduce myself to all here. Drove 4 hours one way to pick it up. Needs some TLC but overall not a bad truck. At least from what I can see. Truck is an 08 4x4.

    Hope you guys don't mind me asking a few questions. Nice to be a part of the community.

    Thanks for the welcomes. Its not perfect. Its got a bit of rust on the frame but what can you do its 12 years old. I found an old TSB letter in the glove box that says the frame is warrantied until the end of the month. I wonder if I call toyota they would look at it right before the warranty expires???

    No holes on the frame. It looks like its been sprayed before and just some of the surface stuff is there with age.

    Hope the truck goes for a while. Found out that the warranty for the frame ends at the end of the month. Actually made an appointment with Toyota and they are going to do an inspection of the frame. There is some rust on it for sure and some of it is flaking off. Hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot buying this thing. We will see what the dealer says. Really hope they replace it. It would be nice to have a new frame and peace of mind that it'll last for quite a long time.
