    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    i've got a new frame for my 98 lined up already.. just need to get it here. but i plan on taking the original frame and doing something similar to this... because my 98s frame is really only bad at the ass end... save it for another taco to save from the scrap heap eventually.



    now my 02? its done.... its totally shot.

    looks like pretty decent work done by him.

    If you have the knowledge the tools and a place it is not that hard of a Job.

    In fact easy compared to stretching Road Tractor frames.

    Destroyed by rust, am looking for another
    i have a 96 and it just died. according to my mechanics, who i have been with for a while, it is not worth working on. how do i know if they are right? for a few weeks before they said this i was feeling a rubbing sensation at high speeds. especially above 60. if i let up on the gas it would go away. that is when they said it is caput. i have not seen any tacomas there.
