Nope. If it’s been replaced I’d go for it. Still look around for rust. It’s the ones that haven’t been done I’d be crawling under looking around really good.Hi,
I'm looking at buying a first gen tacoma. I've seen many with new frames due to the recall some years back. I'm thinking it's a plus, but would anyone be deterred by this?
Welcome to the forum.Hi,

Might as well.Yep I crawled all over mine before I purchased it. I was really surprised with mine, not even any surface rust at 80k miles. But it came from southern Arkansas and was always garaged. Which reminds me I got a letter from Toyota for frame inspection. I guess I'll let them spray the frame [emoji848]

Thanks everybody! So does anyone remember what the years of the recall are? If I get it from a dealer can I trust that the frame won't crap the bed because a recall was ignored? I assume that they must have information on that?Might as well.

My 1986 4runner got totaled in a highway accident two months ago halfway through its resto. It's very depressing. Over 300k on it and I knew it had a longer road ahead...
Yeah I'm being really picky about the body- I do in fact live on the edge of the rust belt. cape cod. Definitely looking inland.
First off that sucks about the 86’ runner. I’ve owned a lot of those from 84-89 all 22re 5spd. Some SR5. I hate when one disappears. They are becoming harder to find for sure.Thanks everybody!

I loved my '97 xtra cab 4x4 5spd and confidently feel that if I had it today, me and my Taco would still be cruising together...
I’m glad you have a gen3. Just saying. You give great entune advice.Absolutely. I wish I’d have kept my last gen one.

View attachment 14460 I had parts of mine replaced. About $1,100.00. I'm trying to get Toyota to reimburse me for it.
Bought the truck new. I got nothing on first try. Now, I'm trying through my Ohio Attorney General's office.
