Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

 

It's called Outline White Letter...

Totally different from white wall!

 

Done with what?

 

What pic?

 

Less than 400 miles to go until I hit 95K!

 

My truck was purchased new by my dad in September 2009 and signed over to me in December 2016. I was religious in pressure-washing the chassis regularly during the winter. In 2017, the frame recall was reinstated. I brought my truck to the local dealership in October 2017, hoping to get a new frame. My truck passed both the Toyota-mandated inspection and Pennsylvania's safety inspection, and all I got was the rustproofing spray. To date, my frame seems to be holding up quite well. I even did a "hammer test" while I was washing my truck at the detail shop where I work about a month ago...

Anybody else have their original frames and showing minimal or ZERO rust?

 

@BartMaster1234 has 1st Gen trucks, but one of them is a former work truck affectionately dubbed the "Crapmobile". This truck has about 450K on the clock, but has spent it's entire life in California and the frame looks new!

 

Mine is doing pretty good. Granted i bought it used when we lived in CO and it's my play truck since i have a work truck. Mine is an 11 with 85k on it .

 

Though Emma's title says she is a 2010, but since we purchased her new in September '09, she's technically almost ten years old. 94,616 miles as of this posting, and I'm always getting how compliments on how clean she is! People cannot believe my truck is almost 10 years old and pushing 100K!

 

09 RC with the original frame....
No problems, originally the truck lived in Alabama,

 

Inland Alabama or along the coast? I'm guessing inland...?

 

Original frame. Was perfectly clean when I let Toyota spray the underside. No worries there

 

Sort-of white sandy... Inland Alabama, Dothan & Andalusia...
Now it's a Florida truck.

 

2013 and it looks great! I have a fluid film spray kit i haven't used yet

 

My old 06 frame had zero rust. But was a central CA truck its whole life. Its life ended in january though now my 11 has minimal rust at some welds and rear diff. It was a coastal CA truck till February

 

Totaled?

 

Yeah, got rear ended. But i got a 4x4 now

 

That's exactly what I plan to buy if mine gets totaled...

Should I get a stick shift though?!?!

 

If you can find one in good shape. I tried to find one. Almost had it but it sold before i could get to see it. Im happy with my auto though.
