    Looks like I need to get my truck on a frame machine or have a expert look it to determine how bad it is, anyone know a place to go in AZ?

    Round Valley?? Damn! :)

    Unfortunately I am of no help to your issue. Maybe start with a local dealer? See if they suggest anyone or a local body shop if they know anyone as well? Good luck man.

    I can get those up later today, what it came down to is the driver front side is bent in about 1/8 of an inch, I have to take the skid plate off to see whats bent underneath luckily alignment is in tact cause vehicle isn't pulling to one side over the other.

    Also the driver door is nearly hitting the frame when you open the door nothing serious at the moment but wondering if it more prone to bend now that the damage as been done.

    Drivers side front What?

    The drivers side door nearly hitting the door frame is just body work.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    The work needed was all cosmetic. The front end was off by 3mm, but Tacomas can handle up to 5mm of variance. The total cost was $800. This included $400 to realign the front end, and another $400 to reposition the battery box and paint the area under the hood that was dented when the battery fell.

    I probably shouldn’t have stopped at that place in El Paso. The mechanic and his wife insisted the frame was bent, but I guess it's natural to worry a bit with a new truck.
