    When I bought this Tacoma a few years ago, I honestly thought I would toss a suspension on it and I wouldn't use it very often. But I fell in love with this truck and it has become my favorite truck to jump into and head into the woods, go an an adventure or find a remote hiking trail.
    But once I got the truck I knew that at some point in the future I was going to have to deal with a HUGE problem with the truck and that was the rusted frame. This is a common problem with Tacoma Trucks and it is an issue that any true die hard Toyota will tell you that they have never heard of this problem all while Toyota is replacing frames for free all over the place.
    When I went "frame shopping" there was no way to even get a frame from Toyota directly, and even on their website when you look up the part, there is no quick answer if the frames are the same between the 2wd and the 4wd.
    So this video will answer that question, as well as how to shorten a Tacoma Frame to make an access cab truck frame work with a standard cab truck.

    I worked in a body shop for 20 years and have done several frame swaps. They are an absolute pain in the ass. Everything needs to be swapped over. All the suspension, brake lines, fuel lines, engine, trans, fuel tank, every thing. To top it off insurance companies would only pay use like 16 hours to do it. Absolutely impossible in that amount of time.

      Only frame swap that wasn't a pain for me was an 83 toyota PU was simple as could be, and was at 1.2m km hauling firewood on van isle, only on its second engine went from the 22r to 22re on it just so the carb didn't freeze up solid again when it was parked by the ocean in winter again beautifully simple cheap n reliable honestly could probably do everything on it with double set of wrenches n a press

      @@sschevmale24 it was 15k Canadian for the dealer to do it at customer rates. Toyota would pay a different rate, lower than what you and I would pay, but it was 40.5 hours (from memory plus it minus a few hours) plus parts. The dealership came out on top that’s for sure. Like I said 12 hours and my truck was rolling out complete.

      The way he’s doing it is stupid…sorry not being ugly
      Remove the body first
      Roll the chassis next to the new one and switch it over roll the new one back

      Define "reliable"?? Sure, they made some bad frames, but Toyota owners don't have the inssanely expensive issues that Ford, Chevy and Dodge have. Those big 3 seem to have a new problem with every model they make. One year it's the motor, another it's the turbo, the exhaust manifolds, transmissions, all insanely expensive to fix. And many requiring the whole cab to be removed to fix them. Toyota's and Honda's just run and run up to 300/500K with light maintenance, easy peasy. Hate on them all you want, but facts are facts...

Yes, I am yelling that at you since you thought it was a good idea to blast the terrible music at twice the volume as your voice every time you stopped talking. When your viewers adjust the volume optimally to hear you talk, it is EXTREMELY ANNOYING to have to mute or readjust it every ten seconds. Please stop doing that.

    Great video, great info, but the music sucks! What age group do you think is watching this type of show? Surely not today's 20-30 somethings, and that music screams rave music that my 30 something daughter listens to. Please, either ditch the background music, (it really isn't necessary, the sounds of working in a shop suffice for me) or find something that goes with the theme. Rap/Pop/dance music is embarrassing to have play when watching this show with the teenagers in the room.

    Great job!!! I have a 2008 TRD OR, And the front portion of the frame was just starting to show signs of rust so I ordered some slip over repair parts, and my neighbor was kind enough to help me get the parts welded back on (he has the lift in his garage, so that is really helpful.)
    I did all the dirty work sanding, wire wheeling, and cleaning the frame, he welded the parts in, and I finished by painting, and then undercoating the entire frame with B'Laster surface shield.
    Hopefully it will last a good 5-10 years with maint. As my son is inheriting this truck as his daily driver. But in all I really enjoyed this vid! Great work Ian!!

      I've busted a bunch of Toyota frames. The recall came out when I only had 200,000 miles....Too many stories of dealers scamming so a friend patched the frame a couple times. Original clutch made it to 430,000 miles and the truck parked itself in a garage. I told the friend I would not drive it anymore...now I search around for 99 Tacoma extra cab frames.....(and a Tundra frame.....and a frame to go under the 1981 4wd)

I’m a Millwright by trade and I own everything I need to do the job. I had to clean and rust treat the donor frame first but it was in great shape. I’m in Canaderp so the rust age is real… there’s a few things to consider when you do this. First how long are planning to keep the truck and second how much money and your time are going into it.

    I bought a brand new 2007 Tacoma offroad 4x4 double cab with the 4 .0 V6 . The fuel mileage was absolutly appaling!! That truck drank gas like a big block Chevy. I fluid filmed my frame from day 1 and it held up pretty well

    This video is making me get underneath my 2008 Tacoma AC 4x4 tomorrow to check it again. I bought it used in 2012 in Boulder CO. It was taken to a dealer in San Diego in 2015 (?) on a recall to check the frame, no issues except surface rust. It's stayed with in CA & TX ever since. It's a shame Toyota couldn't get it right, I had a 2004 Tacoma before that, fortunately no rust issue on that one either.

    I had a 98 Tacoma, frame recalled and they bought back the truck after 11 years! Bought a used 2005 Tacoma that was mint, and bought a special spray wand to clean the frame... Loved it! They again had a recall for the frame after owning the truck for 5 years (Not an option, had to take the vehicle to the dealer) I was told no 2005 Tacoma had passed their "Test" and I would be on a waiting list for a frame... I did pass their "Test"!! and they sprayed the frame with some crap that was sticky and looked like yellow mud! I was not given the option to have this done... Told the dealer to find me a new Truck because they have prevented me from being able to clean my frame and prevent corrosion. My 2016 Tacoma frame is getting weekly cleaning with the wand I bought and used on the 2005 Tacoma.... only time will tell but as of right now it's mint and I live in the snowbelt where they use a lot of salt.

    Back when I had my 99 4x4 Tacoma and had the frame checked they didn't even give me an option to get it fixed. They told me I couldn't drive it. They gave me a loaner car to drive and they paid me one and a half times the value of the truck. I wish I would have kept the vin number so I could look it up because the body and interior were perfect. I'd be willing to bet that they fixed it !

      I have a 99 and didn't want to even go close to the dealer. The offer was not good in my opinion. My truck had 200 on it then, I ended up driving it to 430 and still have it. The frame was patched a couple times by a friend. The patch work took about six hours.

    Ian,
    If I had the tools you have, I would have built a custom frame for it instead of making a factory frame work. Since they are a known weak point on the Takoma, that new to you frame wouldn't be worth putting under it. Making your own would have ensured that it won't be an issue in the future.

    • @johntotten4872
      @johntotten4872 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      He addressed this in the video. It is not a hardcore rock crawler and just an adventure truck so a stock frame is fine. He said if it was a more serious rig he would have built his own frame out of square tubing.

      100% it does. You need BOTH Titles. The new VIN will be from the replacement frame. The old VIN on the cab dash will be voided. You get a reconstructed title listing all the numbers. Did totaled s10s and rangers/mazdas reconstructions for years at a body shop.

  • @stevanrose7439

    I think Toyota outsourced those frames and whoever made them used the cheapest metal they could find. I’ve got a 02 Tacoma and there’s some rust spots but I think I can repair it without removing the bed. I also have a 1981 ford that has no rust trouble so that leads me to believe Toyota bought cheap.

  • @eliteman7685

    Basic issues, plain and simple. Toyota used recycled steel in this generation of trucks, at least that was what was explained to me, used to do collision work until the early 2000's and had friends complain about these trucks that were still doing body & frame work at that time.
    Another point, any boxed frame design is susepable to this headache. 1990's Nissan trucks were notorious for box frame failure as well. Had to go back and edit my comments as I didn't know these were just a C channel design! Always thought these were fully boxed like the Nissan stuff from the 1990's era.

    Mildly better than a TSB. Toyota screwed up by shortcutting the coating requirements on the DANA made frames. Unsure if they were actually warned but unofficial reports say corporate knew and accepted the risks to get stuff faster and accepted the extra years of fixes and paid Dana to “solve the problem”

  • @bobabraham5060
    @bobabraham5060 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Toyota replaced the frame on my 09 in 2019 for free, even provided a free loaner. I was pleasantly surprised but I had paid for an extended warranty. I bought the truck in for a recall and they wouldn’t let me drive away. They had a bay in the shop that did nothing but frame replacements. So what was the catch? They wanted to sell all kinds of replacement parts while they were in there. I declined most except for the steering rack which looked bad. Still have truck, the new frame still looks brand new, better rustproofing? Who knows

    Basically Toyota did something wrong with there frames. They should be the last thing that should rust away. The floor pan and other stuff should rust out before a full size frame. While it,s apart time for a new fuel pump. Also make a access hole in the bed of the truck to make it easy to replace if you have to replace it years down the road. That should be on all vehicle you buy. They should have put the fuel pump anywere but inside the gas tank on any vehicle IMO.
