    IMG_7750.jpg Hey guys, new to the forum but have owned a few yotas in the past. 91 pick up, 97 taco, 96 4Runner, 06 taco, and now just bought my latest project 95 taco (3.4L, 4x4, ext cab, 5sp). Thing is the frame is on its way out. Thinking of just doing a couple more patch, band aid jobs for now but ultimately would like to start fresh and put a new frame in there. Anyone have any input on the likelihood of finding a good 95-97 frame(would prefer to not have to buy new leafs), or if anyone has a lead on one? I’m in BC Canada but would consider shipping if it’s pretty much rust free from a lower state and hasn’t been in an accident.

    thanks guys

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    People say Frames are being scrapped in California .

    Maybe start reaching out. No clue what cross border freight is like.

    Could be very expensive.

    Thought I saw a frame for sale in the 1st gen classifieds...can't remember if it was for a double cab or access cab though.
