Keystone State Thread

Is that Pittsburgh?

 

that is Pittsburgh!

sup folks?

 

More rain than those of us in the Philly area…?

 

I don't think I remember a day in the last 10-14 days there hasn't been at least some rain.

 

And now it’s looks like we got a historic heatwave coming in…

 

we're all about the extremes here in PA lol

 

Does that include frame rot?

My dad bought my 2010 Tacoma new in September 2009, a month after I got my learner’s permit. I finally got my driver’s license in May 2011, taking it in my Tacoma! In December 2016, my dad signed over the title and gave me the truck, no questions asked.

In 2017, they first issued a frame recall and my truck got the “rhino snot” treatment. In September 2021, a week before the recall period would have expired, they found a hole in the frame. In November 2021, at 140K miles, my truck got a new frame.

My dad was in the Navy for 25 years, and we lived in five different places. Three of those five places (Northern California, Washington state, and Virginia Beach) have mild to nonexistent winters and thus no salted roads. I never dreamt I’d own a vehicle that would get an entire new frame FOR FREE!

 

Good morning... get ready for Swamp ass and bayou balls...

 

Though I've been in MA all my life (except one year in NY) and therefore have been in those conditions all that time, I still never thought of a new free frame either. Wife's 96 was bought back in 2008..which is the reason I looked to Toyota ultimately.

As Charlie can attest mine had at least 2 good sized holes, pretty sure bigger than his frame had, which I found about 5-6 months before the 12 yrs ran up. Mine was taken immediately though, called the dealer that day I found it and brought it in the next day.
