...And I posted a few days ago worried that my '76 would rust in half-- I better have a look under my Tacoma, too. Mike Self, tell me you saw this before rushing out to get a Tacoma beach truck....

yeah, i havent read all the details, but it sounds very profitable if you were just to buy a cheap 95-00 Tacoma with frame rot, and sell it back to Toyota for 'excellent bluebook value' no matter the condition of the truck. If the frame isn't rotted yet, some wirebrush and saltwater will take care of that. I wouldn't do that tho, cuz im honest....

I have an 04...wonder what they did differently with the frames. I thought it was the same truck throughout the production line. Good thing I live in CA!
