Cool, that looks like some nice clean work there... I think you just came here to show off.

Upload your pics to photobucket and copy and paste the img code into your post and the pics will appear in your post.

Its looking good, What size (thickness and dimension) tubing you using? and Are you using dimensions off your existing frame or what?

Logan81Pickup · 01-11-2013, 10:01 AM

Frame is looking good. I bet it weighs a ton though. I can easily lift up one end of my bare frame, but I'm sure you probably need a forklift or two strong guys to move yours.

this is the truck many years ago stock independent 31s 22r

stovtop · 02-09-2013, 02:21 PM

after blowing up 2 22rs in six months i decided for a 350 swap which nturally called for a sas with 5 inchs of lift plus one in the body to clear distributor and valve covers

stovtop · 02-09-2013, 02:27 PM

i drove it daily wheeled it quite often and towed a boat with it for camping for 5 years till she rotted out properly

heres some of the rot there is plenty more behind the gas tank and between the spring shackles since i had alredy patched up the likely spots over the years i figured i'll just build a new one from scratch

stovtop · 02-09-2013, 02:51 PM

heres the back halves jigged up ready for tacking i decided to keep things simple by keeping it flat insted fo bendy and wavy like the stock frame

heres the front half tacked to the back half passenger side

drivers side frame from the front

standing the two halves together used a laser level to get them both dead nuts even

this is the rear cross member tacked in place

front crossmember tacked in everything is dead nuts level and perfectly square

heres the center main crossmember tacked in

rear tubing style crossmember with stiffeners

braced up ready for welding

all joints ground out for full penetration welds

some of the tacoma frames we have replaced for the recall looked good enough to salvage for your project! you should comb the local toyota dealers to see if they have any.....

92YotaPickup · 04-02-2013, 07:25 PM

That's a sweet frame. Looks great.

Kyle_GhettoFab · 04-20-2013, 04:58 AM
