Horrendous Truck Frame Rust

Hammer tap

[@keshmo12]

But it’s a Toyota. $12k firm. No low ballers. I know what I got. It's just patina.

[@puch2728]

Love when i see this ‘’I know what I have/got’’ cracks me up every time

[@stivic923]

Did you literally pull the truck over on its side with your lawn tractor? Lol

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Is there any other way? I mean of course without drunk friends on hand.

[@MattTheComputerGeek]

Those old Toyotas are Tough and the frame is strong but with the way the frame was designed its rots out bad compared to newer trucks.

[@fubartotale3389]

Hell, at least the suspension attach points still are connected to the body! I've seen daily drivers where this has been the case.

[@mdogg1604]

2:36 Am I the only one who couldn't wait for him to start beating those layers of scale?

[@cook7039]

You think that's bad? Haha! You should see what I'm gathering funds to save from a local salvage yard. The truck I'm getting, a 1989 Mitsubishi Mighty Max Macrocab SPX, has no connected leaf springs behind the rear wheels, mainly because there is literally maybe a string of frame left going from behind the front leaf mounts to the rear that barely holds the bed on, and started folding when I jacked it up to attach wheels. Your pickup didn't try to divorce half of itself. Fun part, I'll sink more in the poor 4x4 MMM than I'll ever get back out.

[@metalmaniaxx]

Wasn't this covered under the Toyota rust frame recall?

[@yourbeekeeper]

It will buff out. Lol. Isn’t that the truck you skinned the side of the bed with thick Bondo??

[@groutaone]

I hired a body shop to close up the rust with bondo and maybe tape as well, after it was fairly smooth another shop fibreglassed over the box sides and then back to the body shop to finish. It has held up well over the years if you look from beside the truck.

[@darkhelmetsplane]

Well, at least my '07 Tacoma's frame isn't that bad. Now I feel a lot better about my truck.

[@jazziez6467]

Hell I could have drove that a few more years, should have seen the underneath of my 2000 Honda passport that only had 90,000 miles on it, you didn't need a hammer, could just put my fingers thru it. Junked it after my mechanic let me spend $3,500 on repairs in a few months then mentioned it afterwards.

[@kennethestes4741]

But if you happen to crash that sucker it'll crumble up like cornbread and you will be the butter ugh😮

[@tagsdaddy]

So rusty the transmission fell out long ago lol

[@doughunter3967]

uh uh uh what do you want for that cab friend (it rolls) ...oh never mind, haha...Yah bless you and yours...doug (sask)

[@jason-ge5nr]

yeah, dont store your dirt in the frame rails

[@eddiebarrera6159]

Nothing expanding foam,wrapped in duct tape would of fixed.

[@ranchero302me]

More like what frame

[@Titanic19127]

Toyota quality

[@DestroyersGarage]

yeah she's (the truck) dead. shame.

[@ZackL4142]

I've seen worse

[@jr78racer]

Stop hammering on it!!! Rust pays at the scrap yard too bud. 😆

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Most guys would spray it with rust accelerant (cheap undercoat) and list on Kijiji for $1500 firm.

[@sargepent9815]

If ya squint, she's mint

[@MrJanaRobi]

rust never sleeps

[@michaelgibson8402]

Closed frame rails trap moisture inside and rust out. Open frame rails are far better.

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Structural spray foam and bondo will give you another five minutes of life on that frame , just enough time to sell it! lol

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Far less rust than my last 93 cavalier. Comparable rust to my current 93 cavalier.

[@boydmerriman]

Open the hood, lift the radiator cap, pull the truck out, drive a new one in and lower the radiator cap. That is how you overhaul a truck like that!

[@IHcubcadet]

That what my 02 Tacoma’s second frame is starting to look like.

[@-Atrocious]

02 and 2nd frame wow do you live on the salt flats?

[@IHcubcadet]

Atrocious Performance lol no N.H.

[@mtwseneca]

I am surprised it is as bad as you show, here in Buffalo with the huge amount of snow and salt, I have been shooting oil into frame rails, door panels, underneath the body- anywhere condensate begins to rust out areas. Especially fuel and brake lines. There is now commercial outfits doing the same. Oxidation is killed by oil. Mike

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Used oil is the way my friend. I won't even let my wife toss expired cooking oil.

[@KeyGilz]

Do you have more info about this?

[@mtwseneca]

@@KeyGilz There are outfits here in Buffalo that do oil -rust proofing. enclosed panels rust out from the inside due to condensation, and exposed areas from exposure. Coating them with oil is messy but stops the oxidation action as long as it remains (it does attract dirt and straight oil eventually dries out). Using an oil designed to protect longer helps- they have a wax component. Cosmoline comes to mind, but guys have melted candles into hot oil to get the desired result cheaply.

[@eddie3500]

Iv been using fluid film as undercoating here in buffalo with pretty good luck

[@buzzdev]

Damn! I hope our 2004 kia sedona is in better shape. I can see the rust all over the place though.

[@mdogg1604]

4:22 what shocks me is that the fender lips, rocker panels, floor pan, etc. appear to be reasonably solid.

[@Ignore_This_Account.]

Still not as rusty as my dad's ford explorer that was the only car he drove in the winter for 8 years, in connecticut.

[@DizzLexic]

Yup.. tried to use my Crappy Tire money yesterday and they still wont take it. no problem with Canadian dollars though. the insanity is real. That truck has seen better days!! hehe

[@user-wo7rz3yn4o]

Welt that rust is terrible and disgusting but that ain't "tapping" with a hammer.

[@waylonlegend4603]

You’re knocking off the protective rust

[@Mr.Potato420]

soon Florida ftw?

[@garysgarage9827]

JB welder up there bud

[@MyMrkeys]

My 22 year old Saturn has been Krown sprayed almost every year since it was two years old. I just love when it goes up on a hoist and the mechanic is blown away at how good everything looks. Saturns were deceptive because the plastic panels would hide what's happening underneath will keeping the outside looking brand new.

[@elliottcarson1248]

But I thought Toyota was the best 🤷‍♂️

[@hydroponic6561]

I dont see anything wrong here.

[@abcloft302]

Wow

[@Mr.Potato420]

the jack @ 4:06 is STRANGER DANGER! if you don't know how to safely use one DONT USE IT! Its not a normal jack and if your hand slips mid push and your face is over it! GOOD NIGHT!

[@cantstanddogs4776]

2:15😂

[@Flammable281]

If I had a hammer…I’d hammer in the morning…I’d hammer in the evening and at supper time! Love the testimony at the end and indeed Jesus is the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father but by Him and through Him. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9. KJV

[@805ROADKING]

Rust is the Enemy!!☺

[@richardnessman480]

Yaaa Drum solo

[@ToreDL87]

Great trucks with a lot of value, that much most people know. What they don't know is how to prevent rust.

[@Rigge1988]

You ruined the frame with your hammer /irony

[@leadfarmer5035]

I’m so happy I don’t live in the rust belt.

[@tertessa]

WOW....

[@96gokart]

What happened to the long travel buggy

[@ureasmith3049]

No big deal, it'll buff right out.

[@wronggg]

It's just surface rust.

[@metalroofer6737]

hammer fixes all

[@ureasmith3049]

This is why I always buy Rams.

[@ureasmith3049]

@Jack K For the durable frames. Panels can be fixed with a little bit of make-up, frames not so much.

[@HorsepowerGarageVideos]

Drive her till she bends, I see 99-02 Silverados on the road pretty often with rotted out broken frames, the cab and box are touching but the leaf springs and bed bolts hold it together pretty good.

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

My 94 is doing fine.

[@AndyFromm]

Yeah those gms frames are junk. See plenty of them taco

[@millerkiller6496]

Even F150s are still somewhat durable with a rotted frame.

[@myjunkertravels2junkahunta726]

I'm jus sitting here laughing like a hyena at the hammering.
