Hey, I just got an 03 tacoma and have heard about rust issues with previous models. I think this one is just fine, but there are cracks from rust in the middle of both tokico shocks (TRD Model) in the rear. the frame is also rusted and has cracks in some spots. Is there any chance of this being part of the recall? I attached some pictures of the rust.

Thats just surface rust and is to be expected on an '03. Nothing to worry about, IMO. Ive seen ones that were MUCH worse. My bet is that if your truck isnt part of the buyback that Toyota has already done, they arent going to buy your truck back from you.
