Advanced Truck Mods: Welding in Reinforcement Plates for Ultimate Frame Strength

For 1st Gen Tundra owners dealing with advanced frame corrosion from winter salt and de-

icers, our Weld-In Reinforcement Plate (set of two, 11-gauge) offers an affordable, effective

repair solution. It serves as a "fish plate" to bridge and reinforce damaged sections of the frame rail (especially the original reinforcement channel just forward of the rear tire), welding in place to restore basic structural strength.

While it doesn't fully replicate the original channel's geometry to return tow capacity and

payload to exact OEM levels, it's an economical choice for functional frame restoration when

full OEM restoration isn't required or budgeted.

Best suited for:

 Cost-conscious repairs — Strong, permanent fix at a fraction of the cost.

 Severe but repairable rust — Ideal where welding can salvage the rail.

 Extended service life — Gets trucks back on the road safely for daily or light-duty use.

If your Tundra's frame needs a solid, weld-in boost without breaking the bank, this platedelivers reliable reinforcement.
