2002 Tacoma rusted frame

I have a 2002 Toyota Tacoma. And like them all it has a frame that is rusting apart. Although every piece can be found on either eBay or Amazon. The cab mount brackets have to be purchased from the dealership. And they rust also. However the 2.7 liter is still running with 330,000,00+ miles. I understand that people want to put the blame on Toyota. However everything needs maintenance. And if steel has salt and other things that adds to corrosion. They will rust. So keep an eye on the frame. Keep it clean. And if you have one make sure that the frame has a way for water to escape from the bottom of the frame. Because it didn’t have any holes when it was manufactured. And that is the only thing that is part of the frame repair installation instructions. If you want to repair a 1st generation Tacoma. You can find and get what is needed. And I think these trucks are worth saving.
