    I just purchase a 2000 Tundra. Love the truck. I now know that I have a problem. Is there a repair kit to fix the frame? Plates? Any suggestions?

    Thanks for getting back to me. I will post some pictures tomorrow. The truck has only been in Tn and Va. It looks like cross bracing might be an issue. That appears easy. I am curious about frame plates as well. I will post tomorrow. Btw. The front seems to be ok. It is the rear in front of the back tires.

    I have contacted Autorust. The "wrap" repair kits are for the front. I am sure I will purchase these. I am hoping there is a formed channel steel that fits over the frame to stengthen it.
