Cross bracket part number and question

[Colorado buff]

Hi all,

Anyone know the part numbers for the front and rear cross member brackets?

Are these easy to buy?

Lastly. What would I be looking for in cost from a shop?

The rest of my frame is fine but a couple of these brackets are starting to rust through

Likely, that means your frame is rusting from the inside out.

You can look up part numbers on toyodiy.com or any number of other sites (partsouq, maybe).

See if you find your part here: Toyota Front Cross-Member - Guaranteed Genuine

I just hit mine with a needle scaler and POR15. They were pretty crusty at the ends around the bolt sleeve. This on a **mint** Utah-born truck.

SPARTICUS - thank you for that link! Unfortunately my frame is pooched in an area they do not repro, right above the welds for the lower control arm cup.

PS COLORADO - do NOT move that vehicle w/o the cross members in place. I've seen frames do wonky things sans bracing. I am putting mine back in to pull the vehicle to the back shed for a frame weld job.

Buffalo: Front or rear lower control arm cups? You have a photo of the bad area? As I basically cut. sliced rebuilt and thicken most parts of 3rd gen frame from bumper to bumper.
