Just an update... mine (2000, 4x2, extra cab) passed. Said it had no problem. I did check and was told that I can bring it in each year until 2015 to be re-inspected and it will be bought back if the frame starts to go. I think I am glad not to have to find another truck. I have been watching for good used 4 cylinder Toyotas and a couple of other brands and there are not many out there that looked good and reasonably priced. So, all in all, I'm pleased and happy that I'm covered in the future.

2 guys at work got this deal,
one had a 1999 4x4 V6 xtra cab w/220K miles and got just shy $12K,
another guy had a '99 p/u with 189K mi and got $9K.
both are getting new yota's for < $13K.
It's a tough deal to passup.

Yeah... if I had any thoughts or desire to buy a new one, I'd be crying because it is a great opportunity. But, in my case, I have driven for 18 years and spent a total of $8000 on my trucks in that time. I use them for work and beat the crap out of them, so buying a new one makes zero sense. besides, I don't buy stuff that I have to make payments on.
But, I'm sure I could have pocketed a few grand if they had made the deal and my frame was bad. Oh well... I'm ok with it.

I looked under my 2002 Tacoma a week ago and the frame is significantly rotted. This is my 2nd toy, I had one from 1989 to right after 9/11 when I got this one. I have inspected the underside of the truck every time it is on a lift, and the last time was May, and since then the rot progressed so rapidly that 15" of the bottom of the frame in one area has come off, and I can see on the other side of the truck in about the same area is is ready to pop. Not a happy camper.

It's not a loss yet - I'll be putting in a call to Toyota and I'll bet that they'll make me a deal - I'm just gonna wait until the season is over.
A new color truck would be nice - I could hide from all the tourorists too. I'd bet that the seals would learn to recognize me quicker, though.
Salty, thanks for bringing this thread back to life.
