Replacing Rusted Frames on a 2000 Tacoma

So How many of you Toyota gurus have actually replaced your own frames on your Tacoma’s?
I would like to get a little input from you guys and what manuals I might want to pick up and where to pick them up at thank you in advance .
And do you guys know what Frames years/ models ect i can use?

 

There aren't really any manuals on replacing the frame, per se, at least that I know of. If you search around you should be able to find the factory service manual online and download it. That's your best manual, but it's hardly specific to replacing the frame.

 

Thank you.

 

This site (and most others, lol) doesn't like hosting that copyrighted material, otherwise I'd just link you to it...

 

But i was wondering if there were a few of you guys that have done this?

 

Not done it but you can call up these guys and see how much they can do it for.

He already selling a frame...

Never replaced Built new . To me that is much easier

Thing is any frame you find is going to need to come from the Southwest USA

Then need constant attention depending on just where your truck lived and plans to live

 

I haven't done it, but yeah, there are several here who have. You can probably find some of their build threads, though. you might just have to search around a bit. Would be cool if there was a sticky thread for DIY frame replacements, but I haven't seen one.

That's a 5 lug.
