I currently own a1994 toyota 4X4 owned since 1995 , have noticed right side frame rot from crossmember to front leaf spring connection . I am getting worried about me and my family's safety. It IS a shame that loyal toyota owners like me are being told sorry we can't help you. I have owned toyota vehicles for over 21 years. I can't see much difference between these two models by being one year apart. I would appreciate some way to justify my situation for a repair or frame replacement, this truck runs to good to throw away. *Tr
