FAITH in the jack and lego-wood stack!

Another subscriber here. 2014 TRD Sport, just Fluid Film on mine this weekend. My frame was stressed tested at Toyota, I’m good to go.

[@jdesigns7239]

Nice! Protecting it is the way to go. Make sure to check the inside of the frame. I wish I was in the same boat.

Rebuild and fix always. Great video. Nerdy stuff is the best.

2014 FJ, 226,000 miles. Basic maintenance. Haven’t even had to change a light bulb. Never had a check engine light on either. I believe it comes down to how much you respect your ride vs how much your willing to abuse it.

[@jdesigns7239]

Nice, love me an FJ. For sure! I've been on the abuse end of the usage spectrum for the last few years and mine is getting old.

[@deleglen]

im fan of rebuild and fix, even better if you have engineering background so you can do it properly. ill wait for the frame fixing video. thanks for sharing.

[@jdesigns7239]

My truck is at the dealership now. Im going to try to convince them to give me a new frame, but I don't think its going to happen. So there will most likely be a repair video lol.

I knew someone was ganna see it. They were 5 feet away in the garage with some stuff over them. But yes, I should have grabbed them.

I drive 6-8K miles a year, so my 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs has a Long way to go before I’ll be needing to replace anything. But I do know that I’ll need an install an “Add a Leaf” to the rear suspension because I tend to haul occasionally and the rear leaf springs are a weak spot.

Your title, should have said GEN 2 Toyotas have problems at 200,000 miles..a lot of stuff has been fixed/addressed by manufacturer by the next gen..

[@mchilly]

I would talk to Toyota USA and see if they will warranty that frame even with you being a few month past the deadline. I think Toyota USA is reasonable and will work with you.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

So your point is what? I gave my son my 2003 Tacoma Prerunner that I bought brand new and it has just under 200K miles with no issues. It's bone stock. Two years ago, I bought a used 2003 4Runner V8 4wd with 201K miles on it and now has 208K miles. It WAS bone stock at the time. Still no issues. Are you getting the picture?

[@jdesigns7239]

@@2-old-Forthischet the point of the video is to show what has gone wrong with a 200k truck that has been used heavy.

I had a 2002 taco. In 2017 I had taken it in for a oil change. They put the truck on the lift and as they were lifting the truck the rear wheels never left the ground!,!!!😮. The frame cracked just at the bend where it goes over the rear tire. Sold the truck for scrap unfortunately complained to Toyota because I missed the 15 year cut off to have the frame replaced. They gave me a 1500 rebate if I bought a new truck. Which I did. Bought a 2017.

[@jdesigns7239]

Dang, ive heard of bad frames on 1st gens but ive never seen one. I had a 1996 1st gen with 350k and the frame was perfect.

[@truepatriot8751]

Disregard 80 percent if your truck has never touched a dirt road.

[@jdesigns7239]

@@truepatriot8751 yeah only 20% of the truck has touched dirt.

Yep, we lost a guy at work that way working on his car at home without stands and it gave away.
