This is literally the only video I could find that addresses this subject/technique. Pulling out the frame from under my Tacoma by myself took the better part of a day due to all the rusted fasteners. Hopefully putting the new to me frame in goes without a hitch. THANK YOU for making this video.

I swapped the frame on my 2000 tundra using this method. Including changing the necessary items from the old frame to the new frame, redoing control arms, coil springs, rear shocks, rack and pinion, tie rods, and front differential, I completed the job at just under 120 hours. But that is EVERYTHING. 2000 Tundra Limited 4x4 Access cab
