Description
Introducing The Rear Frame Box Plates for 1995-2004 Extended Cab Tacomas. Designed to strengthen your Tacoma’s frame with unmatched performance! Laser cut from 1/8″ steel, these plates are designed to withstand the harshest off-road terrains and demanding conditions, ensuring your Tacoma remains structurally sound and capable of tackling any adventure.
Each kit is dimple died and includes plates for both the passenger and driver sides of the vehicle.
Features:
Toyota uses a hybrid frame on the Tacoma, meaning the front is boxed and the rear is C-channel. Overall, boxed truck frames offer a combination of strength, durability, and performance that make them the preferred choice for demanding applications such as heavy-duty hauling, towing, and off-road driving. You can read more about the pros and cons of both here.
Strength and Rigidity
- Boxed frames, with their closed-section design, offer greater strength and rigidity compared to C-channel frames. The closed structure of boxed frames resists bending, torsion, and flexing better than the open design of C-channel frames. This translates to improved durability and stability, especially when subjected to heavy loads, towing, or off-road driving.
Improved Handling and Stability
- The inherent stiffness of boxed frames contributes to better handling and stability, enhancing the overall driving experience. Vehicles with boxed frames typically exhibit reduced body roll, improved steering response, and enhanced traction, making them safer and more predictable to drive.
Off-Road Capability
- Boxed frames are favored for off-road applications due to their superior strength and support characteristics. They provide a solid foundation for suspension components and mounting points, allowing for more aggressive off-road modifications without compromising structural integrity. Boxed frames also offer better protection against impacts from rocks, debris, and uneven terrain.
Enhanced Structural Integrity
- The closed construction of boxed frames provides better protection against deformation and damage. This is particularly advantageous in challenging environments where impacts, vibrations, and stress are common. Boxed frames are less prone to twisting or warping which helps when adding external loads such as outboard shock hoops.
Towing and Payload Capacity
- The robust construction of boxed frames enables trucks to handle higher towing capacities and payloads with confidence. The increased strength and rigidity of boxed frames minimize chassis flex and sag, ensuring that the vehicle can safely and effectively carry heavy loads without compromising safety or performance.
