damn am i ever jealous. i was lookin for 2 years out here in west texas and could not find a single yota. how bad is the rust on the red's frame? if its not extreme then u should get to sanding down the frame and repainting it. if theres holes in it then knock all the soft metal around the whole off if u can. not complicated work, just takes awhile and will preserve your truck. for now dont worry about welding in the holes since u dont have the equipment, just get all the rust off and repaint that frame before its gone
