Toyota Tacoma Frame Rust Repair Episode 1 of 2

My 2002 Toyota Tacoma had significant frame rust around the rear leaf spring mount, a typical place for rust to form on these trucks. This episode shows the tear down of the truck down to the bare frame on the rear section of the truck. I decided to go all in and replaced all suspension components in the back and make sure that rust was not going to be an issue anytime soon.
The next episode will discuss the products I purchased and will show the final product. I hope that these videos inspire someone to put in the work to fix their Tacoma if the truck still has value and is solid minus the frame rust. Before starting this project, inspect your frame to make sure there is enough metal to weld to and will be structural, since this is not a light job.
If anyone has any questions about this video or any others, feel free to message me anytime.

I noticed you used some in a can spray paint for the frame. Might i suggest something called Chassis Saver. epoxy paint that stops rust and is meant for frames. I am going to be doing my frame with it this week after doing some research to find the best paint.

Great vid man! Thanks for sharing. Wish my ‘04 Tacoma frame looked as nice as that. Mechanic said I’m like one or two speed bumps away from it possibly collapsing. Lol... Truth is, I was plain stupid not to catch the rust and deal with it early on when it was still salvageable. Oh well, live and learn I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@patburnsent 7 лет назад

You might want to check the rear differential for rust also. They are known to pit and develop pin hole leaks which result in lost fluid so the bearings lock up. If nothing else check the fluid level, color, etc. Mustie1 has a great video on the subject. Start at 2 minutes in if you're in a hurry. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EgNmy7vZqPY.html

@brsrc759 7 лет назад

Garage Topics right on man cool! Bringing back memories watching this. I did this same basic restoration on a 1985 Toyota in 2003 after rolling it into the ocean. But because it went into the ocean I had to take it 100% apart and in the process I ground everything down to bare metal and repainted it all and replace the bed and cab since those had all kinds of hidden rust damage with newspaper and chicken wire and Bondo. Obviously the cab was crushed also so that had to go regardless..

Even if you undercoat those trucks they still rot out just not as fast. I'm in Canada and they put salt on the road and that stuff gets into every nook and cranny will rot from the inside out on the frame.

@xuavrice2338 3 года назад

@@KrashGT Same here with my 99’ it only has 178,000 miles and runs perfect but the frame is scary to look at.

@dc6233 Год назад

What is the life of a vehicle? A Toyota can go 300/500 thousand miles with the drivetrain easily, they can't warranty a frame for 20/30 years. I certainly agree that they have some responsibility here though because these frames should not be dead in 10 years and many of them are. At least this guy is doing it right, chop out the rust and replace, do not cover it!!

@captlarry-3525 5 лет назад

12:08 at this point I would cut the frame off both sides and weld in a really good one from a junked truck. far too much work ahead, with the likely hood of a sub-standard result. Once I saw the condition of the frame at the leaf spring attach point.. I said.. UH UH! Just graft in like new.. if you want it safe in a lot less time. All the time ahead grinding and coating with expensive shit.. to make a shiny almost good enough frame.. just wasted time and especially money.

@1966johnnywayne 5 лет назад

For years I've listened to people "in the know" talk about how bad Ford trucks are for rust...my '99 has some bad rust on the forward crossmember, rad cradle, and the rest of the truck is in great shape, including the box and tailgate. For the money that I paid for the truck used and considering all the money that I haven't had to put into it...looks like I made the right choice. Always loved the Toyotas, but damn, this problem is a real black eye on Toyota...yes, I know that Toyota didn't build the frames.

@sonyaalivio7372 8 лет назад

I'm getting ready to do this same thing to my 01 Tacoma, man. I'm going to order a kit from Autorust to repair the driver side frame section where the leaf spring perch hanger is. It is not as badly perforated as yours but it is getting there. The pass side is fine so I probably wont touch it. Like you said, it is worth repairing, its got 200k on a 2.7 and runs excellent. I've owned many Yotas, all 4 cylinders. To me, nothing compares, you get a lot of bang on Yota 4 bangers unfortunately this generation has bad frames. I'm gonna do all the work myself as well and have my welder neighbor lay the critical welds. BTW, I've gone the route of trying to get a new frame per Toyota TSB and had no luck since the original owner didn't get it in for the initial recall in service date, so yeah, thanks to that guy for screwing me. I called Toyota and they basically said I'm screwed. This pisses me off as I'm a big Toyota guy, all we have are Toyotas 5 total. Thanks for posting this, I'm glad I'm not the only one attempting this and I hate to sell it short due to a bad section of the frame and I couldn't in good conscience sell it without disclosing the problem.

@garymcdonald9734 4 года назад

@coyote102076 5 лет назад

( may as well laugh about it, being mad at it does no good) My right rear shock mount broke completely OFF today. :-/ I have a $4800 pile...………..of rust. Now I am looking into buying a salvage truck from down south for a better condition frame to swap everything over onto. :-/ Thanks for the informative video series on this! BIG help!

I heard about this, and not kidding, on my birthday Sept 24th (1991) 2016 I think only to get denied turns out it was GIVEN TO ME BY MY MOTHER wasnt going to be fixed just because it had a salvaged title, and a tree fell on the cab when it was parked, it was repaired and shortly after she found it at some dealer in 2012 (yes still have it after 8 years) besides the MASSIVE rust damage from HELL (TWO 3/16 steel plating around ther fucker) Welding is the most usful shit I have ever learned when i started in high school (and fuck the bullies, they werent laughing when i won 1st place with shelf and red/oak wagon during metals competition) wagon also won best of show. My advice? the world is fucking totally unfair, you only have yourself to rely on, learn to weld or suffer greatly and don't let NOBODY tell you what you cant do, I also have autism. period

Toyota's was the worse of all the vehicles that's why that got sued and had to have a recall on them.and if ur truck had any modifications like lift kits or rock sliders they don't have to honor the recall and they won't either. Toyota had this problem for decades. I had a 93 it wasn't quite 10 years old the frame rusted into and broke in half folding up like a taco shell.

This is a great video; I hope I do not have to do all that work to lose a hose stuck in the neck of the gas tank I inserted to get gas out and now it would not come out for nothing; it is a thick blue hose the has a metal neck in one end with a ball; suppose to be the type to siphon fluids; it went in very easy on the clear end but I felt it pass some sort of flap deep inside trying to reach the bottom of the tank now it is there for good...please tell me this is not what i need to do to take it out of there??!! I can see thanks to this video that the gas tank neck has a ring that connects the gas tube to the gas tank neck but seems that is under the bed in a place that is not easily reachable unless using a lift, which case I would have to take the bed out to be able to work the gas tube out then get the hose easily? What have I done!!!??? LOL.

Each frame rail is being moved 9" inboard. That gives me 24" for each 18" tire, 3" clearance each side of tires. Already have a 388 chevy built for it with around 525 horsepower.

It that a semi american car, because farme is from Tacoma Holdings? Made in japan frame would not get rusted like that. Typical poor jenky quality.

+Z Zaddari Made in America. However, the frames were outsourced to Dana I believe and they are responsible for not coating the frames correctly, resulting in premature rust

Toyota pickups in japan had the same problem. Toyota had this problem for decades. That's why they call them tacos they rust into and broke in half folding up like taco shells.

The most amusing thing is ,all these owners complaining about the Toyota frame corrosion ,and the big laugh is they are made in Amurica!!!...good old US junk.

Gerald Swain You are correct, but the material Toyota used wasn’t the issue. The coating that comes from the factory to prevent them from rusting was minimal. And obviously below average compared to GM, Ford, and Chrysler . Without a coating , salt will eat away at any steel. Wether it be made wherever.

@@wilwathen the frames may rust more than other manufacturers, but I must say after watching a few of these videos the Toyota bodies are always in much better shape than their counterparts
