The Frame Rust problem

Owned since 2003, the truck has only 140,000 miles, but my mechanic advises that frame is badly rusted and is unsafe to drive. I've learned this is a common issue and that Toyota has an active recall. Rear bumper has also rusted through. I need advice on how to proceed.   Read details...

The Body problem

Took my truck to a body shop to have dings and a few rusted spots on it repaired. The business owner and repair person put it on the rack and after examination, informed me that it was not worth the repairs, because the frame and undercarriage was too extensive and might as such cause safety issues.   Read details...
