07 Taco frame swapo!

[SigNewt]

So my 135k 07 Tacoma is having the frame replaced via the recall.

Tech came out and talked with me, he has the same truck, with the same lift and said that he will install whatever control arms I bring in at no charge, all the bushings will be new via the recall and I am going to get a discount on servicing the front CV boots.

They set me up with a loaner car tonight and I am picking up a loaner Tundra tomorrow (I must have a truck for my work) they said it will be 3-6months for the frame to come in.

Anyone been down this road? I am pretty stoked on it, I see it helping the value of my truck in the long run.

Had my 05 done last April - it's been like a new truck since then.
Rear leaf pack really fixed the bottoming out and towing has been much smoother.
Total cost to me was $16 for four new lug nuts (replaced the locking lugs on my trd sport).

Are the new frames coated better than the old ones?

I presume they are the same crap frames. I bought my truck about 18mo ago out of Eastern Nebraska, it's no doubt seen some salt.

I plan on retaining this truck for the duration of its life so I will likely have it protected when this ordeal is done.

I already have a full OME/Dakar lift so the dealer will be swapping my strut assembelies and springs.
