Tw history
I Wish to see the pics of the improved drain holes made and where ya know

 

In the post it was referred as historical fare

 

Trying to remember what the heck I was doing 13 years ago having no clue in the world how bad it gets coz I had never seen such stuff
And I see it all over the scrapyard here now when they get a taco in it blows my puny peesized brain
Just one taco 98 in Lincoln currently

 

Unfortunately that link is a pure joke
That's right I said it
Jank!

 

look up a company called safe- t- cap they make kits that u weld on to make repairs to rusted frames . worked great on my 99

 

I never noticed it was a older thread till the second page

Really surprising the person from New York never heard the horror stories from up state NY.

The Liquid Brine is really brutal

 

i found that bit of TW history interesting as well!

 

It all Comes Down to what your state Allows or what you think you can get away with bottom line it is your vehicle

I increase the size of the drain holes that get clogged up The winter mix gets in there never leaves every time it gets wet it gets active again.

Myself if I could I would remove most of the boxed section of the frame gussets in the correct places stronger then new. No place for the debris to be stuck.

The state says it needs to be just like factory for the most

While the steel manufacturing got messed up I put the most blame on the EPA and stupid mileage standards lets box the frame to decrease the weight imported vehicles

The other day I came across a rodent nest inside the frame interesting smell of burning nest.

 

the poster long ago said Toyota redesigned or something with larger drain holes on the newer 1st gens, wondering where those are at?

 

thought you were also blaming the state and muni roads depts to dump chemicals so people could speed 20 over the posted limit safely in icy conditions!?!

 

If they can make us stay home for 3 months what is a day or two in a major blizzard .

I can`t recall being Snowed in anywhere most all the public roads are not passable in 24 hours after the event ended .

Now if your mile long driveway is 2' deep in snow your snow plow truck is at Moms house an hour away and your shovel is broken that is slightly different.
