1984–95 Toyota pickup & 4Runner chassis stiffening
2 kits to stiffen the frame, from frame rails and connectors to braces and roll bars.
- How it's built
- Body-on-frame, steel ladder frame
- Weak spots
- Cab corners, rocker panels, bed floors and wheel wells rust, and frames can rot in salted regions. Leaf springs sag, IFS ball joints, idler arms and tie rods wear, and steering boxes get loose.
