Frame question.

Hi, I recently looked at a 2009 tacoma access cab which from the body looked amazing. When I looked at the frame I saw it had been painted and some spots were patched. Besides the patches, everything else looked decent. The only picture I took of the frame was of the unpainted part in the engine bay. I was wondering if the rust was average or if I am wasting money on a Tacoma that will not last.

 

Pics under would help. But I see a good leak on the floor

 

2009 is out of time frame for a new frame if needed,I would keep looking for a truck with a decent frame,the paint over and patch on the one shown is a BIG hard pass.

 

It looks like it's missing a brake line?

 

That steering shaft looks worse than mine did

check passenger side vert frame weld at or before cab mount, my weld was gone

 

Run Toto Run

 

Buyer beware !

 

Thank you everyone for your help.
