What to do with this frame, by the leaf springs, both sides?

Already went through the factory frame recall. It's a 2007.

 

Are you saying the frame has been replaced once or you missed the deadline?

 

Tell me you aren't driving that.

 

new truck- if that place is bad the rest of the frame is toast. Look up by the CATs.

 

Not to high jack the thread but Toyota isn't the only one with this issue. My neighbor is letting his wife drive a Sequoia with a severely rusted frame and cracks.

Isn’t the Sequoia a Toyota?

 

No, that’s the other toyota

 

Thats gotta be about a hair short of catastrophic failure.

 

He must have good life insurance on her.

Yep, I don't know the year, but it has a 5.7, and the headlights are pretty hazed up. They also had a 4Runner in the same condition with rusted-out brake lines that they had a recycler pick up and scrap.

 

Cleveland?

 

Not understanding...Is this a frame that was replaced ?

 

As Carol King famously sang...........

"It's Too Late Baby"

 

You know, there's a lot where I'll wave off and go "it'll ride," or "my dad's got a bitchin' set of tools, I can fix it" ... But this is beyond either.

That ain't no repair, friend. That's a frame replace. Or, more realistically, chop it, sell it for parts, use that to fund a nice project.

 

That frame wouldn’t even qualify for an artificial reef.

 

It's kinda like a secure computer. Air gapped.

 

And to think we share the road with people like this!

 

The tech that got under that to film it is, well, a daredevil? Carcare Nut filmed one not nearly as bad and stayed away from getting fully underneath. I've never seen anything that bad. How could it possibly be driven like that.
