Tacoma Stalking, er...uh, Spotting, with Charlie™ (1st Gen Edition)!

And prior to 2015, there's no such thing as a factory orange Tacoma PERIOD!

 

prob jumped it somewhere....or Taco lean

 

Manufacturer defect.

 

Oh, it looks orange to me. Probably the damn night mode on my phone

 

What's Taco lean? Symptom of frame rust?

 

not necessarily. Bunch of thread/post references. any thing from body mount bushing to frame bent. That truck looks like it jumped or heavy load dropped in the bed. Tree would have had a round indentation like was stated before.

Is this truck fixable, or...

 

Passenger side probably got t-boned.

 

The bed and cab paint don't match. Maybe a tree fell on the original bed and bent the frame, so a new bed got put on. Reused the old rear door?

I don't know if someone would go through the trouble of changing the bed if the frame was was bent this bad, so idk.

 

Possibly a blown shock?

 

that's a malfunctioning derping autobot or decepticon

 

It's a frame failure in front of the left spring mount. The tailgate is the same sheen as the rest of the truck, there is either a bedside that has been polished or the difference is a camera artifact. That's a pretty low resolution pic. An thing dropped on the bed heavy enough to do that would leave pretty obvious damage. You can't rearend or tbone a sheet metal structure hard enough to do that level of structure failure without leaving substantial evidence. It's possible the bed has been replaced due to misc damage, but what you're seeing is frame failure.

 

My vote is a tree or something fell on that left bedrail. Bent the frame down and the bed mounts are crooked. They replaced the left bedside without fixing the other damage. Paint doesn't match the fade of the cab and tailgate.

 

Taco springs suck, the weight of the driver tends to make the whole truck develop a visible lean.

 

this ^ and a full gas tank

 

If you get fat girlfriend it will even itself out...

 

Hell that might be the problem in OP's picture. She wouldn't fit in the cab

 

Did you not see rhe copper canyon mica in 98 (i think) in the thread about the value of the purple 98 extra cab in canada?

 

ayy time for a flat deck

 

Exactly:
