Frame is excessively rusted. At the frame member where the rear leaf spring is attached the frame is flaking and separating. It looks like the frame member will brake loose any time separating the leaf spring from the frame. *tr

The frame of my 2000 toyota tundra is rusted out to the point of being unsafe to drive. Large, solid chunks of rusted steel come off by hand. Others pieces fall off onto the driveway when you close the door too hard. It's a shame, too because everything else runs great and i wanted to keep the truck to give to my son when he gets his license, but it is now a safety hazard, unfit to drive. *tr
