    Take it to a dealer and get the frame replaced under the recall/lawsuit if yours qualifies. Mine did last year 13g worth of new frame and other parts which is more than I initially paid for the truck.

    Unfortunately, most wrecked tacomas likely will have frame damage. Not a route I would take if you are looking for a frame swap.

    I have found some on copart and other places like that you'll need to try and get one that is flooded, blown eng., Etc. Or find one that doesn't look completely destroyed. Problem is you may still have frame rust issues because they won't have the updated frame. I found out when I got mine replaced that mine is a second generation of the new frames the original replacement frame they superceded with an even newer version.

    Don't just ask take it up there so they can take all the pics that yota wants then possibly fight with yota over it. I would personally because it's such a big issue and possibly a danger for safety concerns.
