That looks pretty bad. Dang are you ok? There is a post about tubing the rear of a yota on pirates. Crash is the one that is doing it. Just search his name and youll find it. He actually just started it a couple of days ago so you aint missed much. That sucks didnt you just get that truck?

Check out the projects on Marlins home page. Andy cut the frame off of the space cab behind the cab and built a custom link suspension. It is a real professional job. Definetly worth looking into. Oh yea, don't try to staighten a Toyoyta frame. Tried it a couple of times and they never really come out right.

found thing on pirates...thanks

dont really wanna get in that deep

frame isnt worth even trying to straighten...

i am considering buying some square steel, small enough to fit in current frame, and just welding that in place of my old frame...

Good idea. Much simpler to accomplish in the end.

Go to Off Road Solutions and check out their project rigs. Look at Brians pickup, 3 link and coilovers.
