    PICTURE BELOW Images not sharing from iPhone, thank you to user TnShooter for helping me share image

    The frame warps upward very slightly on the inside of the rail (from what I can see I think it’s just the inward side) this wave is right where the leaf spring mounts is attached to the frame, how bad is this issue and how much would a repair pull run me

    Also OP, it's better to just upload to Tacomaworld.
    Linking to an iCloud photo doesn't work to well.....(or at all)

    Do frames just warp on their own for no reason?

    OP, not even the new link you posted works.
    Just edit the post and tell them to see my post below.
    Other wise, you're going to keep getting responses that no one can see the picture.......

    I don't know. I mean it looks bowed down a bit.
    But I'd like to see the top plate of the frame too....
    Can not see how just the bottom would "bend".

    Than again, maybe it's just the way it looks in the picture?

    Ok....One of you 3rd Gen owners need to take one for the team.
    Go out there and snap a pic of your frame. (driver side)
    Let's either kill OP's fear, or confirm it.

    I would, but i'm currently at work and the pavement in the parking lot is about 600C right now.... which might be hot enough to warp my frame?

    I can't say for sure, but it looks a little off in the picture above. Better question is why would it be warped and is their evidence of prior body work? Find a reputable body shop and ask them if it's tweaked and how much to pull it.
