Good job. The only Achilles heal of these trucks. Fluid film yearly!
thanks . yes they definitely need to be cleaned coated sealed regularly
After going and reading on what You added. Mine has 344,??? mostly curb side. I have seen 04-08 both sidea and bad. All the hand to hand prepping we did every fall when we were just a little younger was cosmetic compared to what I have learned over the last couple years. Rusting from the inside out. Now one of the shows can't remember Washington State or Minnesota the Gentleman Mentioned that there was a Recall for frame repairs. Sequoia, and Maybe Tundra and Tacoma. No 4Runner Dealer said that there's to many. I think that's what I heard... Mostly I am on late at Night Focused on the 2000 4Runner. Water pump 2 + Years ago was Re-Educating... Love It Though got to be a little crazy...? GOD Bless Y'all...!
Yes, those guys at Safe T Cap seem to know the metric. They make parts that fit pretty well. For a lot of trucks....except of course MINE! Y'all's did a nice job on that repair job! Clamps help a lot!
Good video, answers a lot of questions. Thanks.
Toyota makes such good products but the frame issue are legendary.
Thanks I really think they messed up with the frames cutting corners on quality of the metal and the design used thin metal
@@torque405 im sure they knew what they were doing. how could the engineers design so well the parts lf engines and transmissions that work for 20 /30 years withoust problems But something as simple as the integrity of metal for a frame be built without thinking of it to rust out??
@@rjchiedog that makes sense on there part don’t make it to good or they never sell another vehicle but make it just enough better then competitors so they will buy again
@@torque405rite on.. the engineers know exactly how to design something And how long it will last under all circumstances.. the frame to rust out???? thats just cruel.
Thanks.
Not sure if I would make my own pieces, or order up one like that but it's neat to see it repaired. I love the sound of sizzling mig. 😊
Just ordered the pieces to do this to my ‘03 Sequoia glad to see they will work.
Gotta love good old Toyota rust rot. Most guys don't realize that Toyota has had serious rost rot problems since the 80's. The 1st gen Tacoma had such terrible rust rot that Toyota was legitimately concerned that the US gov was going to force them to issue a recall. When the 2nd gen was announced, all the Tacoma fans said "yeah the 1st gens have frame rust issues but Toyota fixed it with the new frame the 2nd gens have". The 2nd gens still had terrible rot, right in the areas we see here. It's partially the design of the frame and how it holds muds, leaves, and salt. It's also partially the fault of Toyota and their supplier. Toyota claimed they had no idea the frames weren't made to spec, but that's impossible. Toyota sees the complaints for frame rust. Toyota has a quality control department that inspects all parts, monitors patterns of issues, and audits their suppliers to make sure they are made to spec. They did absolutely nothing for decades about the frame rot. We'll see how the 3rd gen Tacoma holds up. Supposedly they made changes but that internet claim has existed for as long as the internet and the Tacoma has been around.
I generally have seen the worst rust rot around the cats, like in this video. Perhaps Toyota should have considered a better way to Mount the cats as well. The factory undercoat was a bit of a joke as well. Damn good truck in every other way, its a shame they had this gaping problem
What year did the 3rd gen come out?

I know it sucks it looks hurtin, and of course it’s not as strong as it once was, but that outer c channel on a frame like that is the thick one the inner c the rotten one is just thin. Helps make the frame ridgid. No hopp under any GM, ford, dodge and notice none have a boxed frame, and it’s not because of rust, it’s because it’s cheaper to not bother.
Also have any of you heard about oil undercoating, man it saves a lot of BS
sad thing is most states say doing this is a no no. as far as inspection . most rigs now are made like crap. not like the 70s when a frame was built right, its like they took extra fenders bent them up and made a frame
In 1936 Ford had several cars built with stainless steel bodies, although not the floor and frame. You can be sure they didn't make the mistake of mass producing a car that could threaten future sales.
I would add some drain holes underneath the fram and spray fluid film or similar in the frame like lots of it
I'm actually planning to have a full area where I weld in a piece to replace the original and I plan to also reinforce it for extra measures
I would have just cut the bad hole out made a patch that slip on cover is just making for more problems downnthe road. But thats way i would do my truck personally but its a customers so.
I agree could cut all that rust out stopped it in its tracks welded a nice plate over the area and been bood to go i woulda sprayed the indide of the frame while i had the big hole in it. I personally would never buy a toyota or anything with theese safety cap things welded over they will rust from the inside out esp cause half of theese ppl dont even cut the old rust out its like cancer you gotta get rid of the tumor to be cancer free alot of theese guys are trying to patch over the cancer. I treat rust like cancer unless its all removed and treated it will return
Fixed a few frames from cars, trucks, semis with double frame. Best patch is not 1 with square corners. So make a diamond shape with rounded corners. That way it's more sound and strong and don't look like a 1st graders art project. Kill rust with Ospho, etc then use weld through primer. Even if u can get to backside still use weld through primer. Few coats. that way if and when rust tries to start it will eat up zinc in primer 1st. Good idea to use a master coat, Eastwood, rust bullet etc type paint with aluminium and zinc. Old farmer used aluminium paint for roof and I laughed but each time I change his oil, I look and looks new still almost decade later.
Hey man thank you very much for the video. I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and apparently I have missed the factory recall. Fuck. That being said I just found out about the hole in my frame two days ago and found your video today. I have now checked out the safety cap website.I was going to make my own pieces. But these ones look pretty good thanks
2004 got a whole new frame one week before the deadline. The build sheet was over $10,000 and it took them six months to complete in South Florida were there probably not used to doing them. Also six months of a free loner minivan
If you find something for you truck post the Link . I have de sabe problem
Got the exact truck only older 03 Tacoma extended cab trd limited 148000 miles, freakin purrs, got the parts, the stiffeners, leaf spring broke off the frame do I got both sides, I’m so frustrated I’m about gonna push it off a cliff,a guy like you could fix it and drive it out sell it for probly 10,000 at least, just a thought
I could definitely use a robot camera! 🤖👍 Great video btw!
another use for the Tesla bot someone will do it here I’m sure if I could I would
@@torque405 😅👍
I wonder if these rust are as a result of the weather especially in places where there are snow & rain. If they are parked in the garage rather than out on the streets I am sure it can cause the rust more easily.
It is snow and rain yea. He shows how there is a hole in the frame on the other side, which allows it to splash water on the part where the hole is. That part also gets heated by the cat on the other side...
Wear eye protection when grinding unless you like have metal flakes dremmeled out of your eyeball in the ER.
Depending on what state you're in, you can get a brand new free frame installed.
As part of the recall?
Honestly, I would recommend replacing the frame. It's much better for a long-term goal.
Yeah but hateful expensive
Can you make a video how to remove the fuel lines ?
I've already had safe-t-caps put in on three parts of my 01 double cab. Looking like I'll be buying the front sections for both sides as well. How did you keep the fuel and brake lines held back from the frame as you burned in the new pieces?
Also the 1st Gen sections had holes in the bottom which I drilled out into the old frame section to allow water to run out. I did put a kbs coating spray inside of the frame before last winter to stop corrosion
I took the brackets holding them loose held back with bungee and stuffed up out of the area to weld
We are about to do a similar job on a 2002 Toyota Tacoma I have with 700,000 miles. We were thinking we would need to drop the gas tank to weld.
It looks as though you did not have to. Is it safe to weld with the gas tank in?
I didn’t have to on this one but I did take gas lines up and away from the welding area
700 miles on it.😮 mine has 276 and I think its alot lol
No way!! It’s not even broken in yet!! Should be broken in at about 350,000 miles
can you say eye protection
It looks great. I have a question. How do you get all those rusted chips out of it from the inside of the old frame before you put the new safeguard over it? Also can you just remove the old piece and put the new piece in there? I’m asking because I need that kind of work done on my Toyota forerunner the 2002 thank you
on this one the frame is open about 2 ft back I took air and blew it all out knocked on the frame with hammer to get and loose stuff from inside and blow out or if hole is big enough get a hose on shop vacuum and run it through the frame. then coat the inside as best as possible undercoating / rustolium flood it with the stuff don’t cut the whole frame out unless you have it secured in place where it won’t shift or twist the replacement piece is larger so it still needs most the old frame to slip over and weld to for strength
Kiero el número para cambiar shasis
Thank you 😀
Did you weld new steel over the rust? That is going to rust again in a few years if so?
You wouldn’t have a frame if you got rid of all the rust on these it’s that bad there was lawsuits over it . it is just a patch to help it last longer definitely longer then the rest of the frame and the truck for that matter it’s thicker then the rest of the frame
@@torque405 ah ok fair enough. I didn’t know. But personally I’d still would have cut a few holes to clean out any rots and debris and use a rust converter before welding in new steel to prolong its life
@@tonygoshive785 i did clean out as much as possible and did coat as much as possible before welding did as much as possible within reason to help it from rusting any faster it’s just a loosing battle with these frames unfortunately.
How much did you charge ? $$
Looks like the truck has metal termites. 😂
It’s crazy how fast the rust happens on them once it’s started. Good thing is there enough ways to fix them just not what everyone wants to hear or spend on something that shouldn’t happen so quick
@@torque405 what State is this in. Hopefully a northern truck or more specifically a “rust belt “ truck. Any and all puns fully intended 😁
@@pitchforkpeasant6219 it’s in Oklahoma so it’s kinda hit and miss for winter they do use both salt and sand and some kind of liquid that is corrosive to aluminum wheels that I found out the had way lol
Great video just a question for me. why didn’t you just cut the cancer out, b/f you welded the new piece in, instead of just sanding it down
these truck frames were made in so many layers and pieces it would be taking out more structural support it gets sealed up and coated and is stronger without cutting the frame to pieces.this piece is not a frame replacement section. You might end up with no frame left if you try to cut all the rust out it’s a fix that keeps the truck frame from snapping in half and will out last the rest of the rusting truck frame . Toyota should have never made it
What paint you used for inside the safe t cap frame piece
It's 15 years old, everyday drivers aren't meant to still be on the road after 15 years.
The automakers hope they aren’t but then there’s ppl that like to keep them alive like my 43 year old corvette bringing it back from the grave lol
Nice work
Where you located I need my tundra fix the frames too
Oklahoma
good job !
My parts arrived the other day from Safttcaps, Any tips on welding the top? Looks like it will be difficult to get to.
It is little hard to get up there but get close as you can and lay it at a angle some spots dragging works good some were pushing weld forward
if I take mine to place to have those put on what's an average price to expect
I did it for 200
@@torque405 thanks
That's just the part you can see on the outside.
it’s a couple layers in that area of the frame it’s what gets trapped between the layers that destroys these frames and ppl not knowing about it and keeping that area clean and put a coating on it before all this it would have lasted a lot longer then it did
You didn't cut the rust area out. That rust will spread under the new part and be weaker
No it was clean and sealed up the other parts of this frame will fail and rust in half long before any repair like this will these frames are complete junk way there made
Why people don't annually rustproof their vehicles I'll never understand.
Where u located let me bring my car ur way got same problem
I just bought a 2005 toyota tacoma I've got frame rot. I bought it for 7500 is it worth getting it fixed or scrapping it
I would fix it if the drive train is in good shape
there is TSB on that and if it is rusted they will replace it.check with toyota
its expired isn't it?
A smarter idea would be to remove the drivetrain and junk the rest put it into a new unit that’s not going to rot and problem solved. Probably a 3 day job by yourself with the right equipment
I think there’s a market for a custom tube frame
Shouldnt you have cut out all of the rust before installing that cap?
In most cases I would say yes that would be ideal but this one wasn’t one just sealed it up as much as possible so it will last longer then the rest of the truck it’s not a restoration or a truck that be worth anything in 10 yrs it will be in the scrap yard with 500k + miles and wore out engine and trans in few yrs lol
@@torque405 that actually makes sense, just fix it good enough until truck has seen its final days. I forgot how many miles you had said it had.
Where are you from?
How much you charge for putting that part. My truck has the same issue in the same area.

Most frames are repairable by a competent welder. I prefer tig. Avoid big patches like this that cover things up and trap future moisture and salt. Go with patches, and you’ll be good to go. Make sure to use weldable primer, and rust prof the heck out of the frame afterwards, especially the inside. Use a good rust converter and fluid film.
dear god man.. did you seriously put that over top the rusted out hole... i feel bad for the sucker who buys this vehicle 5 years later... i had to deal with the same shennanigans on my wagoneer from a guy who did a repair like this... I had to cut all of it out and weld a donar frame section in... wasnt fun doing that with no lift in a parking spot on a townhouse.. but at least i did it right... This whole patchwork will just rust the frame out even faster now.. Not a big fan of these slap on plates.. do it right or dont do it.. In my opinion.
Why would it rust it faster?
@@Alfredocap fresh metal over rusted metal causes it to rust faster and worst than before. Because it holds moisture and cant breathe. The rusted metal is better off being exposed and cleaned up than being welded right over top. You need to cut it all out before doing this. When it starts rusting again this time the scale will build up and push the two peices apart over time.
Seen this dozens of times, even with leaf springs it can do this.
The proper repair is cutting lut that giant hole.. and thrn welding a patch panel of the shape of that hole you cut out. Not jist plating that thing right over. Itll just jeep rusting and rusting.
Guy also isnt wearing a respirator doing this when hes grinding and sanding.. Hes a lazy fck
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 does spraying rubber over a rusted frame also speed up the rust underneath?
@@Alfredocap yea. Way worse lol cut it out.
@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 damn, trying to decide right now if I should reframe my 2004 Tacoma or sell and buy another used vehicle
Is it worth it tho
yes it is . it’s made good and seems to be good quality steal

saw a 2006 tacoma for sale saying it just had a new frame put under it 8 months ago. bought a 2007 with bad places on frame, took to my local toyota dealer and they said it was to late. how can a truck one year older than mine get done but not mine???this just happend 11/29/22. a friend told me to try a different dealer, that its the dealerships call to do it or not. found out today that my local dealer doesnt even have a tech to change frames out. any help appreciated.
I would definitely make some calls around to other places. I know doing the tcap is a solid repair . The guy I did this for was told the same thing his truck wasn’t covered anymore
2006 didn't get a free frame no way now. Probably had one swapped in from junk yard or repaired it. We spent $4000 on our 2006 to have it repaired from front to back with all new steel then epoxy coating
Ours only had 75k miles on it so it was worth it to us to fix
Just denied frame recall by toyota canada for my 2007 tacoma. It's been meticulously maintained, in garage its whole life..
Just has bad rust way underneath where you can't see it, unless lifted. Which Langley Toyota did during services through the years. I am so disgusted by Toyota refusing to honour recall. It was a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
I will never buy Toyota again.
Rotten. From the inside. 😢
I though the same for me. 2009 acces cab bought 8500$ about a year and a half ago, frame was soaked in oil every year, while hammering the frame we discovered two wholes on both side of the frame.. cost me 4600$ to plate it by a pro. Damn toyota, its been over 100 year we make truck frame, why poor steel for your frame?! As a consumer im so desapointed..
I just bought all my own .125 plate, it will be better than this "safet crap" stuff, but i commend them for offering a solution for the average guy...
i agree custom made 👍 . there’s work but not perfection they could do a little more in the design and it be perfect but they settled with it just getting the job done that said it dose work it depends on the person and time they want involved
Frame swap it.
that’s always a option but not the cheapest they just wanted it patched up

Can't fix just one area.
no it’s gotten both sides done and possibly be getting some in the back over time but it’s definitely bought the truck more time without a frame swap
