Hey D-Rail remember the cracking we saw of the frames coating on mine when it was just a month old - looks like some major stress's on front frame section.
Not my FJ one of the guys from AZFJ -
http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/m ... frame.htmlI broke my frame!
I know fender rips and tears are all the fad, but how about this... I tore my frame!
Passenger side right next to where the motor mount ties into the frame... hard to see from the pics, but the frame is sheared through such that the motor mount arm thingy is no longer attached to anything...
Toyota refuses to warranty it, but the R&D people want the frame so the entire frame is being replaced at no cost to me.
I'm hoping to get a lot of REALLY cool pics as they perform the labor of replacing the frame... since they'll be ripping the body and drivetrain out. Should be interesting. I'll take requests if anybody wants a picture of anything specific that might be better seen with the body off, etc.
EDIT: There wasn't any one incident that caused this... it happened slowly over the course of about a month and several different trail runs. The symptoms were consistent with a broken motor mount (excessive engine movement). I assumed it was a broken motor mount and took it to the dealership... they called me back with something like 'uhhh, I think you better come take a look at this.
