The "Rot Pack"

I have noticed a lot of rust issues with the Runners, that in my opinion needs to be addressed before something terrible happens. These frames, body panels, bumpers etc. on the rigs are just dust in the wind.
I would like to start getting each person to get outside and take pictures of all the rust you have and post them up here with a description.
We then need to get a group letter together and send it off to Toyota and the NHTSA http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Recalls+&+Defects, or multiple letters for a larger impact. There are thousands of us that have this problem and there needs to be something done about it. Let's be pro-active and get this done soon.
I will be going out today to get pics and then start the prevention process. I recommend everyone else does too. Check those frames, welds, connection, rear diffs, Bumpers etc..
Let's get something going so we can all drive our Runners down the road without worrying about the rear ends coming out from under us.

Do you have the number for Toyota to call. I will leave them a record that my frame had a hole in it.
 
After reading some more threads on rust I decided to take a GOOD look under my '00 T4R I purchased last year. Well my rear bumper is about rusted through, and there was a weld put on the diff and one spot on the frame already. Oh well I guess! I didn't notice it went I bought it... but I now have some preventive measure to be done this summer.... I will follow up with some pictures soon and post to my reply.
 
Funny you say that since I have a 01 Sport with 155K and the bottom is rusted to ****.

Funny thing tough is the truck has only been on California roads.

Epic fail !!!!:sobbing:
