He, I am new to all this and I just bought a 94 toyota 4x4 and I need to have some welding work done on the chassis. Two small rust holes. Anyone suggest someone that you trust and does a good job?

thx

yeh I saw all the recalls but I want to restore my truck. I've seen some good restorations andI'd rather do that than give it back to Yota.I've put a fair amount into the truck and am starting to build a relationship with my little ripper....

Only the recall only applies to Tacomas 95.5 -04. 95.5 -00, if the frames had any holes (punched with an air hammer) it was a total buy out 1.5 times what a third party appraised it at. check tacoma terratory or yota tech for more details. i paid 7500 for a 96 tacoma drove the $hit outta it for 3 years and got a buy out of 12000 last september. then i stripped it in mendes toyotas back yard. rime=s tires cold air fender flairs exhaust header cat and left the oem parts in the box. if it a 94 your stuck with it, clean up the rust ad weld a patch over it. where are the holes? in the typical yota spots between the the cab and box near the spring hanger?

The rust is near the back, around the axle. I will have the frame cleaned up, and have it patched. I came across a garage in Chicago that rebuilds the chassis front to back to a nearly new state for $1600. I may go on a holiday in Chicago this summer.
