New to the group! 1998 Tacoma TRD 4x4 Purple

Hi everyone, My name is Jesse from NC and the proud owner of 1998 TRD ext cab, 4x4 V-6 in purple with 149k miles. I've owned this truck for 8 years as a extra vehicle when I need a pick up and absolutely have loved it, serviced it perfectly including timing at 94k miles. However, I l've had to retire my best friend because of the rusted frame, I've had professional welder friends come check it out as its been sitting in the drive and they've all said there's nothing to
weld to and put it back in service? this truck ran, shifted and rode absolutely perfect. its clearly bending in the middle, I start it up every month or so but believe it wont make it out of the neighborhood? do i sell it for parts? i dont think i want or can afford to swap a frame so im just looking for any guidance or thoughts on what i should do? thank you very much for hearing me out and any input would be greatly appreciated...Jesse

 

Welcome and hello from Apex take time to think it through, establish a game plan and execute it.

 

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your frame.
