I found it quite comical

Swear if Toyota sold good'ol made in Japan frames, I'd buy them...

Hell, if they went back to making 79-85's, I buy them!

I melted my clutch snow drifting my Hilux in a school parking lot about a week ago.

I snatched a loaded construction container truck hard enough to hit my head on the windshield... I could have gotten him out but he didn't know how to drive.


Damage to my truck? lol... what damage?

they obviously had nothing better to do with their time...

 

that was SAD both of those trucks were in better shape than mine, when I started on it.

 

I'll tell ya what's even sadder... Show me a compact Ferd or Chebby that's still alive made an early 80's, heck even early 90's that still runs has as much aftermarket support and can 4 wheel like that.


Sure there might be some, but the owners have spent a fortune in time and money on them, but I still mostly see Toyota's.

Sad how frame rot, maintenance or a bad wreck kills them and not a thing else.

wow, that first video is sad

 

You better pony up, because 4Runners, Land Cruisers, and FJ Cruisers still (always had) have fully boxed frames designed and made in Japan.

 

But I need a truck frame? The Made in USA Tacoma frames that are/were under recall were made by Dana manufacturing.

And the new Tacoma is made in Mexico.

Not sure what truck frames come from Japan anymore...

saw thiese videos like, a year ago?, and they still make me angry.

 

Could have sworn he only said 4Runners, LandCruisers and FJ Cruisers...

 

yeah, I'm a moron... I figured that out too late... I couldnt figure out where he was coming from and why that applied to me.

I just wish I could get a perfect frame for a truck I have... No 4Runner or FJ or whatever frame, applies to me. Not going to buy a 4Runner or FJ that still books for $10k for the frame for an 80's model Hilux cab.


EDIT: Tell ya how much I care for new Toyota's...

I'd rather buy a frame for @ three grand than buy a new POS from them. If I could go to the parts department and pick one out, that'd be sweet!

Don't care for new Toyota trucks anymore. Nothing over a 22RE for me...

"Toyota built them right when they gave you what you need, not what you want."

 

ALL Toyota truck frames have the rot issue whether it was made in Japan or not. It is the design of the frame, crap gets in but cannot get out.

That is even better than the Top Gear show trying to kill an 85 diesel by placing it on top of a building, then blowing it up.
