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

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.

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

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.....

Hi Stoytp
Sorry to dig this up from the grave but was wondering if you went off drawings for this or just carried measurements over from the old frame to the new one?
I've got a 4 door Hilux that has to go in for it's initial inspection to be registered on the island I live on and the frame is no bueno. The more I poke around, the worse it is. I either need to part it out (no market here for that) or fab up a new frame. My garage is just big enough to fab up a frame, but not big enough to strip down the old chassis to use as reference.
Great forum, first post and thanks in advance.
