budbuilt is still working on a jig for building frames, it's been that way for a year or 2.

none others. your best bet would be to find the frame you need from a donor or a totaled Yota at a junk yard.
You could also give Bud a quick phone call and let us know what hes says...

Shoot yours is and ex-cab & pirate is down right now... I can't remember off the top of my head if the frames are the same length and if they are do the body mounts match up.

I haven't called to confirm ('cause I don't need a frame) but I've heard that Bud can build frames now, he just hasn't updated the site. If he has them available, they will be good quality. All of his stuff is.

regardless if they have a jig or not its gonna cost you $$$ to buy a frame. just think how much a custom bumper costs, now multiply.
