My First FJ60!!! Finally!

[Forgotten Ways]

Well guys after about 100 questions asking your advise and learning a ton here I think I found a really good one. Issues very minimal rust, a few small places on bottom rails, parking brake not working, and there is a oil leak. However It runs GREAT. Did 75 all the way home, no vibration, shifts smooth. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks for everyone's help.

Looks Good! Just tackle the little rust it has and it should last you a while

What's the best way to attack these holes? Cut it out? Or use rustolium or something else? Would love your thoughts. I know it's worse than just the visible hole. What do you guys think?

Just cut the rockers out and add some sliders in their place.

x2 on cutting the rockers & adding sliders. Maybe get some new door mirrors. It looks good, great buy!

t-case bleeding a bit in usual spot but is there also fluid on the front diff or is that the lighting?
