1 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2022

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. I chose not to have it repaired because of this issue.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2015

I have a 1998 Toyota T100 with 143k miles on it. The frame is now broke under the bed near the front leaf spring shackle, beside a bed mount. The other side is also cracked bad and is about to break. I also noticed the cross-member that the carrier bearing attaches too is also cracked on one side and all but cracked on the other side. I called Toyota because I know they are doing the tacomas around the same year as well as the tundras. Toyota said that there is no recall or anything they can do. I know this is an issue with several other T100s and am very upset that they wont do anything with the T100s.
