2001 Frame

Hey Everyone
New guy on the forms here. This may sounds like a crazy question, but I am looking for a frame for a 2001 Tacoma extended cad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I’m in Canada so anyone who knows of ANY frames available pls pls pls let me know.

Can you elaborate TWJLee??

 

He’s saying you should just buy a ‘new’ truck (his) rather than a frame. It’s going to be hard to find a good one in Canada. You may troll CA and AZ and see if they’ll cut it in half and ship it to you - then weld it back together when it shows



it’s a lot of hard work but not impossible - you’d have to DIY it as a labor of love to make it worth doing though price wise

@Jakuku Pahwheenis just went through this and had a pretty detailed thread about it

 

And boy was I lucky @Tour991 had half a frame to cut and mail me, and a welder in the family to do the welding. Yeah it was tough and I wouldn’t want to do it again. But it was worth it. I got lazy and failed to update my thread on the process. Ended up updating the final progress in ‘What did you do to your tacoma today’.

 

Check FB marketplace as well as Craigslist, they pop up every once in awhile.

 

I have another rear 3/4s frame. Front horns are bent.

 

I can only guess shipping into Canada would be a tad expensive .

Then just where the OP is located even more expensive.

In Canada can you legally build your own frame ?

 

Where in Canada? I believe there's a guy in New Lowell ON that's selling a frame off Kijiji. Not sure if it's an extended cab or dual cab but you can inquire.

 

see post #5

by time you get around to finding one and monkeying with it, all, might be worth it just to find a new truck and part out what you have that is good.

There’s a guy not too far from where I live who travels and grabs up frames from the west coast. Last time I spoke to him it was around 5-6k for his frame and he would install it. Which I thought was a fair price but it’s been five years since I’ve talked to him.

 

Very valid point!
