| Description of the problem | I have only owned this truck for about 6 months now. Took my truck to my mechanic to get some brake work done. When he pulled the tire off of the front passenger side he noticed a crack in the frame. Some further investigation revealed some very bad rot on the frame and a hole about the size of two fists that somebody had tried to patch with just bondo and painted back over to hide it. It would not have been visible without pulling the tire off. Unsure of when this all occurred but appears to have been rotted out for a while. I have no pictures to upload as it is unsafe to drive and still at the garage. I'm concerned about the safety of others driving these later years first generation tundras and toyotas neglect at fixing this safety issue |
