Additional Information

The OEM fuel tank crossmember on these Tacoma models is prone to corrosion from years of moisture and environmental exposure. Failure of this section can affect suspension geometry, wheel alignment, and overall frame integrity—especially with the added weight of the fuel tank.

Rust Buster engineers utilize advanced scanning and CAD technology to create precise frame components tailored to each specific model. With a modern engineering approach and commitment to OE-level fitment, installation ease, and long-term durability, Rust Buster delivers components designed to outperform factory originals. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty, this replacement crossmember restores strength and reliability to aging Tacoma frames.
