    The frame on my 1998 4Runner is basically rusted out beyond repair and I’m pretty sure it can’t be fixed by plating in some areas. If you know anyone with a frame in decent shape or if you have one yourself please let me know. Thanks!

    Just depends where you're at, and how far you'll travel.

    Or simply put, buy another 3rd Gen from a rust-free state.

    Buy 2wd 4runner from California. They’re cheap being 2wd, but clean. Not worth sacrificing a clean 4wd to the rust belt.
