If there are only small sections of the frame that have lost their structural integrity, then a skilled mechanic could potentially weld in the needed supports. Also an option.
In my case, the undercarriage corrosion issues were becoming too much. Not only the two brake line failures, but also the failure of the XREAS suspension (hydraulic lines rusted out on the driver's side and had to replace the entire suspension) and the failure of the RAS (corroded sensors made the system inoperable). The winter road salt was just brutal on the undercarriage and my worry was that it was only going to get worse. So my 2003 Limited got traded in for a 2011 Limited.

A dealer took your '03 as a trade-in or you just mean you got rid of the '03 for the '11? What did you do with the '03?
