    I have a 2003 4.7L v8 with about 250,000km. Body is in great shape, engine runs well, interior is in great shape but the frame is completely rusted out. The frame is cracked along the back and you can literally put your fingers through in multiple places. Is there any salvage value? Is it worth holding onto and trying to rebuild on a new frame or is it pretty much selling for parts? Love to hear what the experts and 4Runner lovers think. Thanks,

    It all depends on what it is worth to you and how much you would be willing to spend on it and if you can do the job yourself? How about some pics of the rust? Selling for parts would probably be best.
