Bonus, that second frame looks pretty decent from afar. How does it look up close? If you're interested as to what it looks like on the inside, I used to use a borescope to inspect the inside of the rails in these (and Tacomas) back when I lived in New England.

It looks pretty good for around here. My junker guy was impressed, he was joking he wanted to raise the price on me once he saw how nice it was off the body. The borescope is a good idea, although this frame is going on no matter what. I know it's solid inside the brackets as I hit it with a screw driver pretty hard. I don't have one of those borescopes, but I have thought about it.
