Product Overview
When rust has opened the side or bottom of a Tacoma frame but the surrounding structure is still repairable, a formed repair section gives the fabricator clean steel to work with. This kit is intended to replace and reinforce the matching mid-frame area rather than hide corrosion under a flat patch.
Frame repair is structural work. The truck must be inspected for hidden damage, alignment, remaining wall thickness, and corrosion outside the panel area before anyone decides it is safe to repair.
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement or service part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand. The names below identify compatible applications only.

- Repairing localized mid-frame perforation on an otherwise serviceable frame
