Started as a decent night, then rained and ended up snowing.  We crafted a lean-to in order to keep out of the elements as best as we could.

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!

Neither does rust... but wha'cha gonna do... honestly, this is a lot better than leaving a giant hole in it, and i'm trying to go through school so money is tight... and i don't see any other option at the moment...

:yikes:

'bout says it all... that frame is worse than what I found on my pile; check my build thread; it was fun.  :shake:  Should just chop it off and tube/link the crap outta it.

Where in CO are you?

Mega Mormon and I are from Montrose, CO.  Our parents live there.  I am in Utah and Mega Mormon is in Idaho.  He was down in Utah to work so we added to the band aid.

Both Mega Mormon and I have never heard a whole lot of frame issues on toyotas until we did a "frame fix site:marlincrawler.com" google search:
