    you have to zoom in in the upper left corner to see the damage
    Toyota tech said they would not pass it
    Or sell it
    Does anyone else have similar problems solutions?

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    This is not your truck then??

    You need a closer inspection not that this can not be fixed.

    What ever the asking price was it has been reduced by 80 to 90 % depending what the rest looks like.

    All stock, baby!
    This. I would highly recommend against purchasing a vehicle assuming that Toyota would replace the frame.

    Best case scenario, you’ll find that there isn’t much more going on than this, and it is an easy repair. If so, you might be able to get a really good deal on it, but you would be assuming all of the risk for being wrong about the cost of the repair.
