Great!
My rear bumper essentailly rotted off and was hanging buy the license plate wire. I welded a couple of plates on to what was left of the frame just to put the bumper back on. Looking closer at the frame it's pretty much swiss cheese and borderline unsafe to drive.
Looks like its time for a new 'Yota.

I have a 2000 Tacoma, where on the frame is it prone to rot?

basically anything that perforates the frame is what they are addressing.
I have an appt. tonight with toyota of attleboro, we'll see how I make out if anything they'll redo the frame if its real bad, I may have to pick up a new taco  But they cover a decent portion I guess. I gotta stop at home and scrape off the beach sticker  |
