    Wasn't there someone selling replacement bed crossmembers for repairing cracked or rusted ones?
    I found an issue with mine...

    How much weight are you carrying? It looks like you need more of a repair to the existing cross member, as well as additional reinforcements for how much weight you're running.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Haven't been under a Tacoma for a long minute

    They welded in or bolted?

    If the latter of the two, time to start disassembly and mock up for a replacement

    I feel the original damage started years ago, rough trails have only made it worse.
