Wanting opinion on the frame/rust

So i got My bed off and here is what I see I started into it a Lil before I thought to create this thread and ask your guys opinions.

 

If the worst you have is shown in photos, you got no immediate worries. It's all surface rust.

A through inspection on inside of rails, leaf hangers, etc. is a good idea. Pay close attention to areas under the cab, and where it transitions to the forward boxed portion, and inside the boxed part.

Since bed is off, its a prime opportunity to wire-wheel it and give it a coat of paint.

 

Looks surface and easily fixed
Inspect the nooks and crannies as well.

 

Looks way better than mine. I've been brushing on POR-15 after the wire wheeling I have done, so far it works well.

Oh and a needle scaler from Harbor freight works great for irregular areas and corners.

 

Knock all the loose rust off, lay the POR-15 to it! Be sure to read up B4 using

 

I'm not sure what years it applies to, but Toyota had a recall for rusted frames. My 06 had the recall. Might be worth a check. Otherwise, POR-15.

 

it's totaled.

i'll take it for $5.

 

To me That is in Excellent Condition.

I am guessing not living in a cold winter weather state.

 

it was never a recall but an extended warranty .

Long over for any first generation Tacoma`s

 

Utah actually

 

That’s amazing condition man, surface rust and easily “fixed”. Just cosmetic

you lucked out!
