The previous owner of what is now my '02 Tacoma (with 72xxx miles, not that it really matters) didn't ever take it to a dealer for the whole frame recall thing, which means that by the time I bought it, Toyota was no longer making good on their offer for buyback or replacement. I took matters into my own hands and replaced the frame myself. I found a healthy frame from Tacoma that had been in a rollover accident, and switched 'em out (scrapped the old frame). It was an enormous project and I wouldn't try it without a lot of extra manpower; an automotive lift sure came in handy too. It works though and it's rewarding to have it all in one piece now.
