Fit, Welded, And POR-15'd... Super happy with the results essentially brand new rear end. The measurements are perfect as well, this guy knew what he was doing and I got to experience and learn about welding and techniques. We cut just before the body mount and had to reinforce the left side with some plates due to some rust on one side.

All you need to go off road is to be willing to get some scrapes and dents along the way
Due to the large number of folks looking for complete rust free 4Runner frames, I kind of doubt anybody is going to be willing to screw a good one up by cutting off a portion of it to sell you.
I thought the exact same - but when i was searching for one ( I have similar issue as OP) you can search for frames, and when the list pulls up some will indicate they are Front Half Only, or rear half only.
