STRUCTURE: FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
THIS 1998 T100 WAS AN AWESOME TRUCK, BUT LIKE ALL TOYOTAS THE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH. THE STEEL THAT IS USED ON THESE IS COMPLETE JUNK.. THIS IS WHERE THE AMERICAN COMPANY'S HAVE IT. I LIKE THE QUESTIONS TO ANSWER, WAS THERE A CRASH? NOT YET, WAS THERE AN INJURY OR FATALITY? WILL THAT MAKE TOYOTA DO A RECALL? I THINK NOT!! THE FRAME ON ALL THESE T100 SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY TOYOTA.. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA JUST DOESN'T CARE ANYMORE. TOYOTA SHOULD GET A HUGE FINE FOR KNOWING THIS PROBLEM, AND DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT... LETS SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.. *TR

STEERING:LINKAGES:ROD:RELAY:CONNECTING
ON JULY 28, 2004, MY 1998 TOYOTA T-100 4X4 SUFFERED A COMPLETE LACK OF STEERING CONTROL AS I STARTED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAUSE WAS A STEERING ROD RELAY THAT BROKE IN TWO. I HAVE THE FAILED PART. IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN EITHER A TWO-PART FAILURE OR A FLAW IN THE ORIGINAL CASTING. ONE-HALF OF A CROSS-SECTION THROUGH THE BREAK IS BRIGHT GRAY STEEL WITH THE ROUGH SURFACE CHARACTERISTIC OF FATIGUE FAILURES, THE OTHER HALF IS COMPARATIVELY SMOOTH AND THE SAME RUST-COLOR AS THE OUTSIDE OF THE PART. MY TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR ROCK-CLIMBING, NOR HAS IT BEEN RAMMED INTO A SOLID OBSTACLE SUCH AS A CURB OR LARGE POTHOLE. THE ONLY TRAUMA IT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO IS LOW-SPEED MANEUVERING IN HEAVY SNOW AND ICE. ALTHOUGH THE FAILURE DID NOT CAUSE DEATH OR DAMAGE, IF IT HAD OCCURED A FEW MINUTES LATER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE I DON'T THINK TOYOTA OWES ME ANYTHING ON A SIX-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE, I AM WORRIED THAT THIS FLAW MIGHT REPRESENT A BAD BATCH OF STEERING ROD RELAYS. IF SO, THEN THERE ARE OTHER T-100S OUT THERE THAT COULD KILL THEIR OWNERS.*AK
