Back here again after a long hiatus. once again looking at an expy after having a bad time with my old 2002. (i ended up buying a 1969 mustang) lol.
I'm looking at a 2008 this time. All the bells and whistles, priced fairly low for Canada....but for good reason. The rear subframe that is kinda welded up on the rear floor, that the rear most body mounts go into, is rusted away on one side....the other side is fine. But those very same "subframes?" on both sides are rusty too near their fronts (almost above rear suspension).
I understand i can probably get somebody to fabricate some kind of C-frame in there, but is there any aftermarket parts available instead for this replacement? What in the heck are they actually called? There is also a crossmember that goes the width of the truck, between the rear body
mounts, id likely change that while in there if i knew what part it was, etc.
I have not bought it yet, but for 5,000'ish Canadian, I figure its worth the repair! Will only be using it for camping basically. or am i wrong in this thinking?
Attaching pics. =)
