Looks like a ton of real work. But good to see you doing it correctly. You could even cut holes in the new metal to allow you to plug weld it as well, for even more strength... Thumbs Up
I live in the mountains of WNC. Toyota truck frames will not hold up. I have two cousins that have had to have a complete frame replacement. One was a tacoma, the other was a tundra, in less than 5 years. I have a 2000 ranger with barely any frame damage. Until toyota fixes their bad metal issues, I have no desire to own one!
@Jvcomet I agree, Toyota makes a very good vehicle, but I don't want that kind of headache to deal with. Toyota fixed both frames at no cost. But the Tacoma was at the dealership for 6 months.

Is it the chassis frame of that Toyota was a ladder or unibody/monocoque....................? Was the theory , is to replace another New bar plate into that chassis frame............? How do you do that ................. ? And did you use tig welder or ordinary electrical welder..........? And how was thick , that New bar plate that you replace.........how much millimeter..................?
Lincoln SP-135 plus same basic mug welder I’ve been using for 35 years. The TIG welding machine I use in other videos for welding roll cages is a square wave 175. Thanks for the comment thanks for watching
Great work! I will be doing this to my 06 in the next couple of years. My brother is on his 3rd dodge RAM in the time ive owned the Tacoma. If i can keep the body together on this thing. It will outlive 5 domestic trucks. So if they're shit. What are we calling the domestics? 😂
I just don't understand the point of it. I used to live in the rust belt; when the frame or unibody started going bad on my car, that's when I knew it was time to get rid of it. I wouldn't replace it with a new car, just a car that wasn't rusty underneath
i have a 02 4runner i recently bought, similar in that the inside on both sides is just about gone, transmission crossmember barley together and 1 of the rear tails on the frame for the hitch is rough, any intrest in working on it? im about a hour from millvile
Am considering to buy 2009 Tacoma in Nigeria what of after buying I just add another solid steel to the frame to protect it from routing at all how about that?
just a thought- wouldn't it have been easier to have REMOVED the BED (4 bolts) for MUCH MORE ease of removing the gas tank as well EASE & CLARITY FOR WELDING..& Why On Earth Did You Coat Your WORK using the Rubberized Undercoating Shitt, do you not realize that one Chip on that rubberize coating leads to .Eventually ..You Doing Your Excellent DIY Work All Over Again= Defeating Your Purpose ,,,Otherwise Great info, video!!
@@Jvcomet.. so why wouldn't you inform "they" of the easiness as well as the disadvantages., as Most Consumers Really Appreciate Such ..=Happy Consumers , instead of you receiving possible/potential comebacks =..More Expense To You...jus makes common sense in my opinion
Thanks for commenting on this video. Can’t change it now ,but your correct on the undercoating if I get another one to do I would stonily suggest otherwise. 👍
@@Jvcomet It works but doing any work on the truck sucks but with one winter with it on there's rust on spots I missed and if you go with it do yearly touch-ups if fall.
