Frame Cross Member

I'm looking for the bolt on frame cross member that the fuel tank and muffler hangs from for a 1997 Tacoma ex cab 4x4. I found an OEM one online but its $220, figured I would ask if anyone has a used one if not I'll probably try to make one. I tried to post this in the parts forum but it says I'm too new to post there. Love the site... tons of information. Thanks.

what is wrong with the one you have?

 

I'll give you 3 guesses, Captain Rust.

 

But did you read the rest of the rules where it says you're not supposed to post outside that forum?

I suggest changing your title and your post so it's more appropriate for this forum...

 

What can I say. I'm a stickler for the rules.

 

It's a little rusty. Not many of these trucks left in the salt/rust belt. Sorry for the rule breaking.

 

Make one I made a few over the years .

You might find one out of Arizona or down yonder someplace

 

Where are you located
I will buy you that new piece if it cannot be cleaned!
Just need your help removing the bed from my 97 like you got yours there and reinstall later after I get done under there
Let's make a deal!

 

I'm in Northeast PA. It really wasn't too hard the worst part was getting the rusted bolts loose.
