- Hello everyone and Welcome to my channel.
Here is a time-lapse of a frame replacement on a 2005 Toyota Tacoma that I did.
I'll be posting more videos soon. Thanks for watching!!!

I'm impressed that it only took 16 minutes to replace the frame.
LMAO 😂🤣👍🤠🤘
This is EXPRESS service afterall
🤣🤣🤣🤣 yeah right...... all the work stress free!
You stole my joke.
Haha in my driveway this job... Let's just say I'm not coming into work for At least a week
Incredible job.
The frame they're throwing out looks nicer than the one currently on my 4runner.
Thank You!!!
My 2001 Tacoma had a recall on its frame years ago. When I got the notice, I went out to inspect it myself. I could easily crunch up half the frame with my fingers. It was a miracle the frame didn’t ever buckle on me.
Crap, I still have my 2001 and I never received a recall notice! I better go out and check the thing.
we never got the recall. Once upon a time they contacted us for weather proofing and then said we did not need it. Now the frame has collapsed exactly at the connection. Checked online an there is nothing
How much was the frame
@@kys.online I think the frame and repairs ran like $14,000. (Frame plus labor)
And they had the vehicle for almost 3 months. While I drove a brand new camery off the lot.
It was absolutely stupid! They could have gave me that money and I would have bought a brand new truck.
@@jakemarlow8998 how was the frame? Mine was the worst in front of the rear wheels. Looked like something that sat out in the woods for 40 years.
I hope I had a guy like that working on my truck ,one guy,, you think there would be a crew, the guy is amazing, can't say he's not a hard worker, holy cow...
You do realize the video was sped up, right. Kidding.
The Tacoma / Tundra frames had a manufacturing defect. Maybe the frames weren't made by Toyota, and there were quality (maybe heat-treat) problems. Think Tacata air bags.
I bet they also pay him peanuts!
When you consider the logistics of how this thing was built on an assembly line where each person's job was probably to hold one impact gun and hit the same bolt over and over and over again... compared to one man disassembling the entire thing and then assembling it all by himself... it's literally fucking crazy.
@@SampsonGG I know eh...thinking the same! Timelapse was what...2 day?
Last year I bought a 2006 Tacoma base 2.7L standard transmission with 185,000 miles. The previous owner had the frame replaced by Toyota in November 2017. I was always curious how it was done, it is a major job. Thank you for posting.
What a project... it takes a special kinda person to wants to do that. I can just hear it now “ever since you changed the frame”
service advisors always come to look at what the techs are doing lol, and then they go back to sitting and talking about how hard their job is lol
You'd never get it until you tried writing service. Seriously both techs and advisors have very hard jobs
Service Advisors have a pull your hair out stress type job. Techs have a laborious job. Both hard in different ways. Personally I would rather bust my ass than deal with customers, any day of the week. A GOOD advisor/writer is a mechanics best friend. They create that nice buffer between mechanics and customers so the mechanic can actually get work done.
@UCqIoBCm-b7CmsHmUCY3x7hA That is very true. I can understand why the tech would be annoyed with the constant question "how much longer?" There's a way to ask where you aren't acting like a jerk.
Yeah I know what you mean, they are all lazy asses , the service advisors
@@robfidell been there, done both, plus also as a parts guy for both sides of the counter for customer and techs! I think the parts guy has it the hardest that's why I gave up on that end and continuing being a tech at my own accord. Overall the automotive industry is a tough gig as technology and being in the industry is a costly venue.
No joke this guy needs a raise. One guy show.
*casually takes whole truck apart and puts it back together*
With a new frame if you didnt see the whole video
Master tech lvl 1000.
is not casually
kdmq no they changed the chasis
The client IS in the lounge waiting!!! Lol 😂😂🛠
Absolutely amazing, that mechanic is incredibly talented.
LOL it's just repetition for these guys at this point. They've replaced billions of dollars worth of frames.
This video is incredible. Master at work. I’m getting this done to my Tacoma as soon as the frame comes in. I can’t believe how much work goes into it
I'm going to do the same to my 4runner. Just wondering how much a job like that goes for. I heard it will take about 40 hours.
world record frame replacement! 16 Minutes!!
This mechanic is incredibly talented. I never knew taking apart and putting back together an entire vehicle was a one man job! Crazy!
Thank you!!! It would of helped to have an extra set of hands at times.
@@MoarLow you’re absolutely a master tech, I’m interested in contacting you for some advice!!😊
Wow, the sense of satisfaction that this guy must feel stripping a truck down that far and rebuilding it by himself...impressive. I'm sure some owners were majorly inconvenienced by all this, but in the end, it's like winning the vehicle lottery...good on you Toyota.
The only criticism I have is the apparent lack of a torque wrench in this video, but I'm optimistic that it all works out in the end. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Thank You!!!!
Toyota only recalled those trucks because of the class action lawsuit against them. If it were not for the suit, the owners of these trucks would be left holding the bag.
How many extra bolts left over? And don’t lie!
Toyota designs it so the US dealerships who are usually lazy will have a great time putting it back together and all bolts are usually sorted
😂😂
Lol..true, But if he's done a couple others, he should get it right. Due to experience.
that is what the glove box is for:-) Actually you lay out the parts in the order you take them out. I used to change front clips on damaged new cars for GM. Best job I ever had.
😂😂
Changing frames like you changing Lanes
this guy is a rock star, how can he remember where everything goes!
I bought a 98 and didn’t no about the recall. Someone told me so I registered the truck that I had just bought for 700$ and took it to the dealer and they called me back and said they would buy it back for 12k.
That's one hell of a profit
Can you tell me more about that recall? I have a 2000 Taco. Thanks
Bo Stewart I think it’s 15 years old max
In highschool I worked at a Volvo white dealership. Watched a mechanic swap frame rails on a wrecked new truck. It was amazing to watch and see it roll out the door in a week . #mechanics are doctors too.
Boy ! What your man did in one hour is amazing
Thank You!!!!
OMG! You are a miracle worker! Amazing! My 2008 Taco is in for frame replacement now.....this is really intense! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome!
Kudos to Toyota for stepping up and doing the right thing!
They got sued only reason they had to step up
Excellent video coverage on the frame replacement. This guy won’t run out of work.
Thank You!!!!
You ever want to go fishing in northern Wisconsin on my dollar , let me know. You actually live and breathe these tacos . I'm amazed.
That's incredible! My 06 TRD is going in around a month from now. Now i know what to expect. Awesome post! Thanks for that!
Your ability to turn those wrenches is mind blowing. Toyota is making the decision to swap my frame over the next few days - 2005 Tacoma. Fingers crossed...
Totally gratifying to observe that repair.
Thank You!!!!
His Jersey says 2 but truthfully he is #1… ❤ My Tacoma needs a new frame someday and I know who I will be calling 😊
Damn, you need a raise! Impressive. I would like this done to my '95 t100
Thank You!!!
amazing how these guys are able to keep track and do this
Wow! I never thought to change a frame as an option. That is incredible! You have to know your field my friend. I'm impressed. Looking forward to see more stuff like this.
Theres a lot of options for a truck worth its original msrp or more $ after 15+ years
@@luisascencio8092 its 2022 ad now a 130k tacoma are going as high as 35k
I have a 98 4Runner and the frame is fine. I live in new England and after every snow storm I give the bottom a quick rinse.
Now I know why it took so long for my packages to arrive from Amazon........ did you see how long that FED EX truck sat there without being worked on? LOL
Probably waiting for parts to arrive
FedEx doesn't deliver anything from Amazon
@@diablas100 Not anymore they don't. But we rarely do some of their work.
dude you make it look easy 😂. I'm about to do my first frame replacement next week, I had to wait like 5 months for the parts to come in.
My 06 just failed the inspection. They are going to call me back for an appointment. Excited yet apprehensive at the same time. Feel like an old friend is going in for some long needed major surgery. I love my truck.
haveallbeentaken same here. 2005 with 70,000 miles. Im not sure what to think.
I thought Toyota's were perfect? by what ppl been saying on RUclips they should easily last a million miles with only oil changes...
This is the step by step video, after watching this anyone can do it them themselves. Good luck haha
I can’t believe my 06’ Tacoma went through all of that! For Free!.... No cost to me. And that my friends, is why I’m loyal to Toyota.
If I were driving something else? Obviously completely out of warranty.... sorry bout your luck! ..but no. And that is why I bought a 18’ Tundra.. very happy so far. 😀
Do you know? Can I do that to my 2003 tundra? The frame is too rusty
Well they had to given the fact that they were sued... they wouldn’t have done it out of the goodness of their hearts
Well done. Your a master mechanic. Tacoma owner here.
Thanks 👍
Just dropped off my 04 this morning at Mechanicsville Toyota to get my frame replaced. 1 month shy of 15 years and 328000 miles but still covered by the frame warranty extension. They said it would take about 6 months to gather all the parts and the frame, and 3-6 days to do the work. All covered under warranty. They wouldn't let me drive it off the lot. Gave me a rental truck until it's done. It was that bad.
I have an 06 that got approved. My question is what all did they replace besides the frame? Mine has a few other issues besides the frame. Wondering if they might discount parts/ labour? AC needs new condenser, rear hubs leak fluid onto brakes, alternator about to go, ujoints, and brake lines leaking. I just stopped driving it they didn't offer a loaner until the frame comes in.
@@bobbybrown614 they told they would be happy to replace needed parts (free labor)that they were going to remove and reinstall onto the new frame. (Shocks, calipers, ect) they said i could buy them elsewhere and bring them in. New parts included the frame( of course), rear leaf springs, brake lines and fluid, lower control arms, all frame bushings and mounting hardware . I had them install new shocks and struts, calipers, rotors, pads, and a new 3 in liftkit. I did all the ball joints and in&out tierods after i got it home. All purchased from Amazon and advanced auto. Good luck
Such a great work! I wish to have someone like you doing this for my rusty 2003 Tacoma...
Thanks, I've done a 2003 before but that was a long time ago. Coverage for that year ranged ended.
Guy I work with does these in 12-14 hours. Pays 40. This guy here is obviously a pro too
This is most likely a recall replacement. So it will cost him nothing. I just got mine done. It started falling apart when it was only 4 years old. By 13 years old the frame broke in the front. Toyota got billed $15,500 dollars for the replacement.
Anything touching the frame had to be replaced also under the recall.
12-14 hours ? lol....I know 2 people who had it done and checked progress and it was 5-6 work days....
Dean B That’s not in my area, it takes a minimum of four weeks just to get the spray treatments done.
wow dude - incredible - about to get this done on my 2010 Tacoma - thanks for all you do!
For how much ?
Can i ask how much did they charge you for it?
Took longer to do that oil change on the Tahoe behind him!
😂
always impressed by the skills of an experienced mechanic. resepct.
Thank you very much!
How often should I change the frame on my 09 Taco?
Annually is the recommendation for any Toyota truck or SUV sold since 2003.
What do you expect when they were made in USA ?
Once a year,to be on the safe side.
Yet GM and Ford won't stand behind brake and fuel lines.
The frames only last 1 year?!
Got mine back on the 22nd. Took them almost a month to the day. Everything seems to be in order. Actually feels tighter, more responsive, but it could be my imagination. A word of caution ....try not to spoil yourself with the rental. Enterprise loaned me a 2018 Niissan Frontier 4x4. Damn fine truck. I have always been a Toyota fan but if I get the chance........
I've been driving trucks and autos for nearly sixty years and have had a lot of people work on my vehicles (including myself). There's one local guy I would trust with most issues but I doubt I'd let even him work on my Toyota. When I want quality work done I take it to a Toyota dealership. It costs a little more but I've only had one issue with a Toyota tech. A young pup tried to tell me I needed a part replaced and I knew otherwise and a bunch of miles later I know I was right. Don't take everything they tell you for granted, people are people, but when I want an expert diagnosis or repair it's off to Lemieux Toyota I go.
The entire frame scenario including the way Toyota handled it was in my opinion a credit to Toyota. They're not the idiots who refuse to find an alternative to salting roads and they coughed up a lot of money to put solid frames under vehicles that would otherwise been short lived. Have not seen Ford or Chev do that and believe me their frames rust away as well.
Wow timelapse! Impressive work on the mechanics part!
Thank You!!!!
Having mine done today. See you in a couple of weeks.
Me to on monday recall
How long do they keep it
How long did it take?
they said mine will be done mon it's been a week they put 600 on it for arms said i cant pick it up tell i pay. Tried ther best to get some money out off me. So i have to pay 630 to pick up Toyota would not cover it. Sucks gave me a 2020 reant car that was cool
I never saw him scratch his head once! And he only stopped his work to talk one time. I never saw him put a part on then remove it in an "Oops" because he got his procedure order mixed up. That guy is worth his weight in gold!
After doing over a 100 frames I could do it in my sleep. Thank you!!!!
Just had my 09 Tacoma done. A.C did not work after and I had no issues with it prior to taking it in. Took it back to the dealership and they ran a diagnostic on it. They tell me the compressor is shot and needs replaced, charging $2100. I’ve found this is a common problem with these frame replacements and I’ve been told that they didn’t touch the A.C lines and my compressor just died. Need advice please.
lol you deserve a beer man, you literally did everything. awesome job!
Thanks!!!
Mechanic: “ Hold my beer.....”
My 2009 Taco's at the dealer right now waiting for the frame and springs to come in. It's a 2 month wait. Since my truck was deemed too unsafe to drive, they gave me a 2019 Camry LE loaner for my troubles. I'm practically getting a new truck.
Is it a Recall, or a Warranty?
I guess I need to take my 2010 in for a frame replacement inspection, because mine is way worse than this one, this one looks new compared to mine!
I heard that depending on the place...if yours isn't too bad, that they will just spray it down with rust protection...so if i were you, id wait until its very bad for a 100% frame replacement.
Last I heard the replacement is over now...
@@stevethomas8106 2005 to 2011 are covered for 12 years from Date of first use (DOFU) , so it depends on the when it was sold the first time. My 2007 DOFU was 11/24/07. I took it in for 3 inspections in the last 3 years. They found a hole last Friday during my final inspection with 2 weeks left on the extended warranty from Toyota , They ordered the frame and replaced it in 5 days . I pick it up tomorrow , the service dept. said no charge for anything. The dealership and Toyota also gave me a loaner vehicle to drive while the frame was being replaced. 2019 Highlander with 4k miles on it. They said the cost is $16k - $17k for each Tacoma.
@@Crab53 My TACO is an 03 and it was all done @ the dealer. They even did all the brake and fuel lines. From listening to others, they no longer do the lines or other related components. And they charge for any bolt that snaps off etc etc, if they're treating you that well, you're a lucky guy!!...
Kudos on all that work. I'm exhausted just watching.....
Here hold this mug while I pour in the 🍺.
Thank You!!!
Shows how much money Toyota has to keep replacing frames....instead of fixing the issue on the front end...
If it was RAM...GM....or FORD the dealer would just tell the customer to FLOCK OFF.
@@mikefoehr235 It's a gigantic tax write off.
This only happened in that year model Tacoma
@@lookhector No it did not. they are still CURRENTLY doing them and have since '04. Total garbage, my 04 Chevy's frame is still 100% fine after 15 years of plowing snow..
@@lookhector false....been doing them since 1st gen...and now up to '17 model years...
So it's a recall on Toyota to replace the frame. NICE!!!!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16
Nice! Only took 16 mins and 20 seconds! woot! Getting my done on my own dime next week. Will let Toyota know about this record time! :P
What ever you pay that mechanic... double it!!!
We wish, I’m about to do a frame tomorrow after it’s all done I’m going to ask for a raise, just got done doing valve seals had the entire engine apart took a few a days but it was done right. Most guys at my job was making 20-25 dollars an hour it’s a 40 hour job
why. if he is good at it should take 9 hours to change out frame. and pays 41
Damn wish I had the talent and passion to be as good as you! Great work man
tinkering with your own car is my recommendation to learn. RUclips has a plethora of diy videos and fb groups to learn from.
That one fucking mud flap... LMAO
Did one in 9hrs...aligned and test driven. Left motor in cab as it was lifted off the frame.
This should be the Tech's resume.
Wow what a hard worker my hats off to you!
Thank you!!!!!!
My 2009 is waiting for the call to bring it in for a frame replacement ..was told 5 - 10 days for the work to be done
Mine took 3 days. Toyota got billed $15,500. The dealer kept calling to say I needed this or that replaced. They told me I needed a new belt. I was like......I don’t think so...that one has 4 hours on it. I had just changed it when my frame broke in the front. I had to wait 6 months for the replacement. Toyota didn’t give a crap about me not being able to drive it. Wouldn’t give a replacement truck while I waited.
NorthWest Firefighter it depends on the dealership, we were replacing them over the weekend you get a car from the day we failed it until you get it back, if any work is needed we do it at half cost since it’s already apart
So much work. I bought my 2005 DC after Toyota had replaced the frame at 201,000 miles, then I got it oil sprayed and I spray Fluid Film inside the frame focusing on the riveted in plates
Simply amazing 🙏🏼👍
Thank You!!!!
I felt accomplished changing my own shocks. This guy is a fucking legend.
Thank you!!
I had a 05 with a bad frame I had to fight with the dealer just to admit there was a recall. When Toyota and the dealer finally admitted it they told me I had 18 months to complete it and I couldn't drive it. I traded it for a Nissan 1 month later they called me looking to due the recall
They are scum bags aren’t they. The class action lawsuit FORCED them to start changing the frames. When I got mine done the dealer kept calling to tell me I needed to get this or that changed. They told me I needed a new belt. 😳 I told them the belt in it was only 4 hours old. I had just changed it when the frame finally broke. Mine was an 05 also.
I would never buy a newer model Toyota.
I guess when you do literally hundreds of these, you get pretty good at it!
This guy almost knows what he is doing. I could have helped him quite a bit by installing the wheels.
Somebody...buy that man a beer! Helluva job!
always wondered how much longer it would take to drop the engine with the frame... we usually keep them up in the truck with a engine support.. but honestly doesnt look like it added much if any time to your swap
Dan K. We also kept the engine and transmission in the body. We didn’t have to open the ac, coolent or unplug the harness. We would have the bed and body up in about 45 minutes.
@@Jc-ei7hz Where?
Got my bar I used to use on front wheel drive cars that could probably hold the engine in the body but securing the trans on a 4 wheel drive looks a little sketchy. Did you do this on 2wd and 4wd?
I am getting ready to do this. So you support with an engine bar like I used on front drive vehicles back in the day,fender to fender? The trans is 4x4 and attachment points to hold it in the body look sketchy? Any advice? Would love to minimize the work and take advantage of the lift.
he loves his job so much.. i love ot too.
They should just start galvanizing their frames already.
Good idea. How much would that add to their cost? Instead of that how about units of government find an alternative to salt for keeping our roads safe. And how about we use less salt. And drive slower and more carefully. That would work for me but most people are in a hurry to get home so they can sit in front of the tube and drink a few brewskis.
you think galvanized doesn't rust?
@@76Bourne ....i did....
@@cdoublejj a lot of people think that. Only Marine grade Stainless steel, but that isn't strong enough for car frames, its expensive, and you would have to use stainless screws, nuts, washers, rivets, including your tools would have to be stainless. if you put a regular metal screwdriver on stainless that metal will start to rust on the stainless.
RUST PROOFING! Get your frame oil sprayed every year.
Early 70's a friend was a line mechanic at a Chevy dealership. He could replace 2 Vega motors a DAY !
That was nuts.
Bill I COULD DO BETTER!
HAUL 2 VEGAS TO THE CRUSHER IN ONE DAY, BEFORE LUNCH!!
Next time someone asks me for help on a one man job, I'll tell them to watch this video
Amazing that this truck is still worth doing all that to it.
Look at those bald tires. Owner really takes care of this thing.
Some random person: Hey bro, what did you do this morning? The dude in this video: I drank some coffee, replaced a frame or two just the normal
How long did it actually take you to complete the repair? my 09 TRD sport bdl cab long bed was dropped off on Monday morning and I was called on Wednesday morning telling me it was ready. Now I have been turning wrenches for over 30 years, so I know that's a lot of work. I'm not sure if they had more than one guy on the job or not, I picked it up on Thursday morning and haven't had any issues. To be honest I wasn't crazy about the idea of my truck being taken apart and put back together without doing it myself. Although I got a free brake flush and cooling system service because they replaced the coolant, with just over 210,000 miles it was overdue for both. My invoice was just over 10K, while I consider my Taco to be worth much more than that I'm not sure what actual book value is on it with the miles, however I wouldn't trade it for three times that.
Is it a toyota recall? why did you pay for the replacement of the frame?
I didn't pay for the frame to be replaced, the invoice had just over 10K was what Toyota was paying the dealership for performing the repair. I did pay for both rear shocks that were broke and the rear brake hoses. I paid dealer cost for the parts with no labor for installation. My truck did have over 200K miles, and I was getting a new frame. You don't bother with the little issues; My bill was like $270 ? $50 for each rear Bilstein and whatever for the brake hoses; Keeps me from dealing with them for a few years.
I put 500 miles on their 2018 Tacoma they put me in with like 935 miles on, I turned it in over 1400. I did get a seat cover from work to put in it, respected their wishes and did not smoke in the vehicle.
Although from that experience I can tell you, if you look at Tacoma's, make sure it's a V6. That truck got great mileage, didn't have any power. If your looking for economy, it's the cat's pajama's.
I had to replace the muffler because it was rusted out, no big deal, I got a "Banks" cat back system. If you own this type of truck, this is the exhaust system you want. 3" stainless, mandrel bent. Muffler increases flow 211% 4" chrome or black tip. Uses factory hangers. And well worth every penny, got one on my junk right now. I have the TRD cold air intake with the throttle body spacer thing from whoever. So far I have hit 450 miles to a tank, I just gotta keep my foot out of it. LOL...
These trucks are GOLD, if you can get one, get two, I rolled over 219,000 miles yesterday; While that's just a number, I'm looking forward to 233,129. That will be the point where I have put 200K on my Taco, I have over 150K on the tires; I'm probably going to get a new set when they hit 200K just because.
Just got my 06 Tacoma frame replaced no charge. 172,000 Kilometers rest of truck very good.
@@mrgearheadfromhell how long ago did toyota agree to replace your frame? who did you talk to?
They had checked the frame from the recall and said it was good first, then when I took it for state inspection they checked it again and said it had " qualifying perforations " and they had already sent pictures to Toyota and they said put a frame in it.
I told them they already looked at it and they said Toyota extended it, I'm sure glad they did; That invoice was just over $10,000.
So the dealer gave me a loaner 2018 Tacoma with like 239 miles on it, I put 500 on it in 3 days.
Amazingly simple with all the right equipment.
Changed the whole frame in 16 minutes?
Did you not see the change of clothing? 16 hours
Good work! Looks like a long and tough job.
ThankYou!!!
Makes you kind of wonder if it's just cheaper to replace the truck? That's a lot of labor
I think Toyota is doing it for free as part of a recall. You can see a stack of frames outside this shop.
And yes it's cheaper to total loss the truck. As soon as a veh comes back need frame replacement we will total loss the vehicle. Labor hrs needed are over usually over 97 labor hrs.
@@theadjuster6760 Damn. Thats over $7k for most any shop!
A lot of work for one man, even an apprentice would have neen a big help to that guy
One of the first things I noticed is all the different people standing around from time to time watching you. Too busy to take the RO off the board but not too busy to watch you do the work and bug you. Always hated that...
I work for a dealership and I have a few minutes to chat with coworkers and observe their work, without passing up the board. Everyone has at least a couple minutes a day to do that.
Had my 05 Ted done. I purchased new shocks and struts at this time knowing there was no cost to install them
O5 trd
Smart!
When I look at the condition of this truck (body damage, bald tires etc) it is a shame to put a new frame on this truck. To me, it's like rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic.
Frank P warranty covered it. They didn't make them right or coat them correctly from the factory. Like a 10-15 year warranty or something.
Lol
Exactly my thoughts. Bet the owner is going to sell it right after
If it still runs,drives then why junk it?
@MoarLow love the dedication, work, time & patience that went into this truck's frame replacement. you sir have impressive skill & talent! i wonder what the new warranty is on this new frame? or how much longer this will last compared to the old one?
I just dropped mine off yesterday for frame replacement. They said it would take up to 60 days. Not with this guy.
@Joshua Bullock ?
Your frame probably had a safety issue. Yes, it takes months for a new frame to come in.
WoodbyWolf 2007 check the VIN with a dealer. 10 mm hole minimum.
WoodbyWolf Toyota was fudging the frame replacement inspections. Passing vehicles that really failed. Many than broke whilst owners were driving it. My broke. That’s what lead to the class action lawsuit.
wow ! lotsa work !. my 2018 try off road was side swiped before Christmas. over 14k Canadian in damage. insurance covered it. 6 weeks later still in shop, they tell they might have to order a new frame .a broken broken braket at rear driver side. got hit right in the gas cap erea before back wheel. took out my whole box , suspension etc.
Dude he even greased the drive line!
Its times like this I think gays have a real advantage
I gotta say, this is pretty amazing.
how much flat rate time?
Richard John My truck listed in as $12500.00. (2003 double cab.)
I bought it from a dealer that got it at auction.
I paid around 12000.00 for it.
Honestly, Toyota should have just junked them and paid out.
They did for the first generation tacomas. but that ended years ago.
You are indeed a master mechanic! This was a recall? How many hours?
It was not a recall, it was a customer support program if the customer qualified for the frame at the time of the coverage. It ended a few years ago.
2wd was about 39 and 4wd about 40.
what the.. I can barely put gas in my car
Always thought there would be some welding but it looks like it’s all bolt on. He had a torch to remove the rear end.
In manufacturing welding is only used if no other way is possible. It's the highest cost. The electric bill would shock you.
