I have a 200 toyota tundra that everything underneath has rotted. here IS the list of what m y local garage has replaced in the last two years. Steering box rotted out, brakelines have been replaced twice, O2 censor, gas tank fell off the bottom of the truck, while I was driving it, front sic rotors have been replaced four times since 2000.
