I'm unsure of the condition of the frame, do Toyota dealerships inspect that for free??

I have a 2011 off road trd, I know frames rotting were a major issue up until 2010 but was wondering to have that inspected before I add some mods.

 

Let’s see some pictures of the rust that you are concerned?!

 

The frames on 2023’s will be rotting too. Just give it 10-15 years.

 

You got it! It's 8:45pm where I'm at right now but I will reply with photos for you tomorrow. Thanks!

 

They can.

But your truck is over the 12 year warranty limit.
They will likely charge you for an inspection. And understandably so, the tech has to get paid for his time.

 

I see that people use coka cola and diet coke to derust chrome. So that's a plus.

 

Frames rotting are still an issue, Toyota has done little to change that. A dealership is unlikely to an inspection for free since your truck is no longer covered under the limited service campaign.

 

If you’re using coke to derust stuff, you got bigger issues.

 

Absolutely, thanks for the help! I will call a shop to get a quote and get some pics up for the thread, tomorrow

 

nah not coke lol coka cola lol

 

You’ll need some coke if you plan to “derust” with Coca-Cola.
Do it right, Evapo-rust or the like, then wire brush it, neutralize the remaining rust, and paint/seal over it.

 

Good idea. I didn't know about Evapo-rust.

 

Any way you can just inspect it yourself? Just takes a set of eyes.

I know it's late but it's not hard to detect rust - posting these because I was subscribed to your last thread you created and seeing how bad your front end is, it's safe to say the rear/frame is worse

 

I remember that thread.
Just didn’t recognize OP’s name.

That was a thread…………

 

Yeah, it wouldn't be hard to inspect one's own frame.

 

Not much rust in the last picture, with components preserved by the leaked CV grease...

 

If you say that's "not much rust" then holy fuck...we have completely different views.

Agree to disagree

 

^Oh there's plenty of rust in the other pictures, but the hard line to the caliper is probably in good shape underneath all that grease lol

 

Stainless steel doesn't rust that's why

Unless it's coated steel...but it's protected by the grease so lol
