    sorry for the late update. We're going to go ahead and have the saftcap guys fix it. We got a quote of $6k.

    He did come back with a lower price of "non-essentials" that could be left out at $4100 after we asked. Was a bit confusing of what could be left out since I don't know all the frame parts but he said "those still have some life left" "and you can come back to fix those later". Then I asked if it would be undercoated and he said it couldn't since those parts would be rusty. Knowing my dad if he went for $4100 and still saw rust he would be upset lol so just told him to bite the bullet.

    will post pics later in a monthish!

    what a crappy job of "dealer maintained" . they could have gotten that frame swapped out when Toyota was still doing that for free . That amount of rust is far from just starting .
