    HI,
    My handle is fletchkel and I live in north central CT. I have a 2007 Tacoma with 105,000 miles. I love my truck and want to do everything I can to keep it in top condition. I recently went through the rusty/delaminated frame argument with Toyota to no avail. I did find a welding shop in New Britain the cut out the bad parts and spliced in good metal and did a super job. My mechanic was impressed. It cost me slightly north of $2,200. I'm happy.

    Fellow New Englander here, welcome to the shit show :thumbsup:.
    I’m on my 4th Toyota, frame repair is only as good as the up keep. Make sure you spray some cavity wax inside the frame, do it regularly and you’ll be good to go.
