  • Tacoma Rear Frame Reinforcement plates

    1995-2004 Tacomas have c-channel frames that are notorious for bending and cracking. The c-channel frame also contributes to axle wrap and wheel hoop at the rear axle. Toyota’s answer to this issue was to box in and reinforce the frame on the newer 05-09 Tacoma’s and FJ Cruisers. Our solution is our Taco Rear Frame Reinforcement Plates.

    This kit will help you avoid costly frame repairs and give your frame more strength, fixing many of the issues a c-channel frame causes while offroading. The kit comes complete with frame plates for both the left and right side. The kit is shipped unpainted and some modifications will be necessary when using this kit with a double cab.

    Fits 95-04 Standard or Extra Cab.
