My frame brackets that hold my suspension and other parts like my fuel tank and driveline are rusting off and my mechanic says don't bother because it'll cost more than the truck is worth. It needs a full frame change!! if I would have been driving it when the last part broke at highway speed instead of the 20 mph on a regular road we wouldn't be chatting right now because I would have been killed along with my passenger and I had just got out of a 3 day stay at a local hospital so I was definitely going slower than normal. It was my complete drivers rear spring perch and track bar off the axle and the frame side is just as bad. I'm worried one day something is going to break off at highway speed and if I don't get hurt I'll hit someone else or worse. I've enclosed 5 out of 42 photo's of the rust its serious and I need help along with lots of other 4th gen Toyota 4runner owners that will sooner or later get injured or kill someone due to the serious failures of our vehicle frames rusting. I went looking to replace the brackets and they don't sell them separately I was told I need the frame it's the only way to get what I need. So can you help me and all the other owners going through this please! we were left out of the big frame recall Toyota did because there are more 4runners that all the other 3 combined and it's very sad this happened!! the vehicle was towed to (mild to wild) 217 derby Ave / orange, CT to get the parts needed fabricated from scratch because you can't buy them separately you need to buy the whole frame!.
