No. The chassis is bent. There are a few Kinks here and there and evidence that someone has applied heat (oxy) to the rail at a certain point to try and fix it, and in doing so, they have collapsed the rail, making it weak and irrepairable.
Not happy.

No. Its in a shitty spot. I'll get a pic up of it on the weekend. Its between the drivers side rear transfer case mount and the rear cab crossmember, along the underside of the rail. The indentation is about 20mm deep. The inside of the rail above this has popped out about 10-15mm. The top has sunken.
To repair this I would have to heat, stretch it from the rear of the chassis, and lift the rail back up at the same time. Given that some asshat has already had a crack at it, I can see this area already being pretty fatigued.
All this would need to be done on an alignment jig. And the 2 days spent straightening it would probaly cost me more than just buying a beater ute with a straight chassis as a donor.
