Bought this vehicle used in 2010 and it had a lot of corrosion underneath then. Currently has 50 k miles. My brakes are squealing due to corrosion preventing the calipers from moving and the wheel was corroded to the hub and it took a lot of effort to remove it. The structural members and all the components have loose layers of rust. The exhaust heat shields fell off. The spare tire restraint system looks too weak so I removed the spare. The spare wheel is so corroded that the bolt holes are no longer smooth for the lugs to bear against evenly. I am concerned that something bad will happen eventually if a weakened critical part were to fail. I doubt the undercoating toyota is offering for 04 to 06 trucks can help much at this point. I don't want to be the guy who drops a fuel tank on the freeway.

Morning drive from fredericksburg, va to syracuse ny along route 81n. Roads are empty, dry, & sun is up. I had just decided to stop at next exit for breakfast when my 2005 tundra pickup is violently jerk to the right. I try to fight it back straight when it suddenly takes of to the left, then jerks back to the right. I hit the guard rail & the truck flips over. The next thing I remember I'm hanging upside down & I'm hearing a strange noise. I turn the keys off & the noise stops. I think I smell gas and fight my way out of the seat belt & crawl out what is left of the passenger side window since the drivers side is blocked. When I get out there is someone yelling from road. I tell him I'm ok & a trooper stops. I start collecting some silver coins that are scattered when I hear the trooper yelling at me. Sounding mad. He tells me to stop & go to guard rail. As I try to make it to guard rail legs & muscles don't work right & starts hurting bad.ambulances arrive (2) and they argue with me. I tell them I didn't call them & I don't want them. (no insurance & don't want to seat in an er for the next 8 hrs just to be given pain killers & told to see my dr asap.) tow truck arrives & tells trooper he doesn't need traffic control. Trooper leaves after trying to get me to say what caused the accident. I didn't know, since I was awake & driving then I was in the middle of a night mare. Tow truck driver drags my truck up to the guard rail & points out front passenger tire & says "that's what caused the accident. A friend from ny picks me up at the tow yard & on the way back we stop at the crash site. We see where the rim starts cutting a groove in the black top & swerves back & forth the road. 3 days later I meet insurance adjuster at tow yard & he also points at the front tire & says it caused the accident. We notice the tear in the tire is in the opposite direction of rotation, so I probably didn't run over anything.

Driving on 81 n (mile marker 160) in pa at 7:10 am when front passenger tire blows out. This caused me to swerve across both lanes come back hit the guard rail. Truck flips over onto guard rail, slides for a ways on guard rail, then rolls over as it descends a hill. The blowout was in my lane (gauge in pavement) without any object in the road. Tire lost pressure instantaneously. Both tow driver & insurance adjuster pointed out tire as cause of accident. The tire was a michelin ltx m/s2 with 33000 miles on it, but it had a 70000 mile warranty. Shape & direction of tear in tire is in the opposite direction of the tire rotation, so I take this as additional evidence that I didn't run over an object in the road.

I was driving from new jersey to my home in massachusetts. The trip is about 250 miles. About 18 miles from my home the sidewall blew out of the rear tire. Road conditions were wet and snowy the whole trip. I don't think I ever exceed 60 MPH. I checked all tires for proper inflation before leaving my home for new jersey. The tires are 60,000 mile tires and had about 43000 at the time of the failure. The tire is a bridgestone dueler h/t 689 - this is not shown in your selection list. I had to select the closest name but the real name is the one written here.
