I'll finish your post...."....and then you hear on the news that Toyota loses a class action case for rusted out 4Runner frames and has to replace all the rusted 4Runner frames in the USA....except those on islands off the coast of New England."

I'd say it was complete. I would accept your alteration if we include Land Cruisers 1958-present, Lexus LX 1996-present, 4Runners 1984-present, Lexus GX 2003-present, and any form of Pickup from 1964-present in that recall. Let's be realistic, boxed frames are a massive design flaw. I will accept nothing short of book value or a full frame replacement that includes a redesigned c-channel frame. Then we can call this issue fixed.

There's a part of me that expects it to be like any other class action I've participated in -- The court will rule on the side of the consumer, Toyota will be ordered to pay 28 Billion dollars in restitution, and the 4Runner owners will get a coupon good for 20% off any dealer-installed accessory.

Still, I figured it was worth the 10-15 minute phone call for the off chance it works out.
I am signing up also. Can't hurt I figure. Hope that Toyota offers to do something like what happened with the trucks that didn't get the frames swapped - offering 150% of the KBB top value. Now I think they offered that for buying a new Toyota which to be honest I don't have much interest in, also don't have much extra money to pay for the difference. But either way, it would be nice to be offered something reasonable.

I do think I would let them replace the frame if it was an option, I just fear all the additional cost for parts that should be replaced along with the frame. That is where I think it would become pretty expensive. But...to have a pretty much new 4Runner again would be awesome. Well, mine has 94k miles on it, but still that 4.7 v8 was just getting broken in!
