Description of the problem	I'm trying to sell my tacoma. The frame is rusted. I took it to a toyota dealer when the frame recall was sent to me. They sprayed the frame with a corrosion resistant treatment. Obviously, this hasn't solved the problem and i want a new frame. I have 134,000 miles on this truck. It's in great shape except for the frame. My mechanic said it's a safety factor because the spare tire brace is rusted; there are holes in the frame now. According to a letter from toyota usa president, they are allowing replacement frames up to 15 years.
