So, I recently picked up a yota with 2 parts trucks and the one in photo below is the bet if the three.
Only real issue is frame damage on the front driver side. The PO was bombing down a farm road and managed to rip the upper control arm out of the frame. While digging around I noticed the rear front differential mount was completely rotten. I think this may be the root cause because the metal surrounding the UCA mount is pretty good. Weldable even.
My question is, does anyone make a beefier UCA mount that includes motor mount & shock mount? What about after market bump stop mount and diff mount?
Trucks this rusty are a menace to all on people the roads, and should go to the scrappers, forthwith.
Otherwise, buy a frame.
In new England they come this way new. But thanks for the helpful response. I'll scrap three 91 short cab pickups with 120k immediately. Great idea.
Oh no, it's too dangerous. It would require effort and dedication to make it happen anyway. I think I'll scrap them and get a new coma for 40k at 3% interest for 72 months...much better 💡.
Turns out there is quite a bit of good metal under there. Looks like the diff mount isn't really all that great to begin with. A little cutting and a little welding might just do the trick.
