Not talking smack. Well ok the first question was.

Yes it is a T.R.D. and no my frame hasnt rusted through. Actually my truck passed the frame test with flying colors!! But toyota did pay to have my trucks frame coated with a rust protector. Its suppose to be good stuff, it got done 2 months ago and to this day it is still tacky when you touch it. i dont care what anyone says, i still admire toyota for there dedication to take care of the customer(i know there are many more reasons other than the customer). And for taking full responsibilty for a PROBLEM and not coming up with lame excuses, and doing the right thing, by buying back all these "faulty framed trucks". I know everyone is gonna have there own opinion when it comes to this TOPIC, but this is just the way i see it.

And like any truck if you don't take care of it in a salty environment it will rust through. If you watch it you will be just fine.

could not have said it any better my self!!

that 3.0 was a good motor aside the fact it did like to eat head gaskets.

thanks,

after all this waiting i still have not recieved it. so today i called them and they told me they were slow due to the holiday and what not. However he did say(his exact words) "it is processing and rest assured we will have a tracking number emailed to you in the next 24hrs". i ordered the bull bar from Auto Parts Warehouse and from what i have heard, they have fast shipping and great customer service. so i will just have to wait for now. Everyone here knows waiting sucks when it comes to parts for our truck!! but pics will come after its installed, ASAP!!
