Sorry if this is a bit of a superfluous thread but I've been wondering about this a lot lately.
It seems like the 60 series frame was a lot more prone to internal delamination and rot, at least from what I've researched. And it appears the 100 series also generally has more rust issues than the J80.
I ran into the notorious frame rot issue in my 98 Tacoma also; it looked like I was pulling out stale turkey jerky from the inside of the rails.
So what's different about the 80 series that makes it hold up so well, even in the salt belt where an equivalent Tacoma or J60 would be falling apart?
