lets say i cut out all that bad rust and clean up the surface rust and rust convert and clean and all that but have that bump stop that sits on the frame even bottoming out wouldn't that stop it from doing so?

yeah that part is completely gone at least just where that threaded hole section is and one of the drain holes.

not my picture but essentially this is rusted out the spring is still sitting in the bucket okay but its just that bolt area thats not good.

Hi all i have a 80 cruiser and the rear cone bump stop on the passenger side is rusted out and the bump stop is sitting on the bottom of the spring. i have some timbren bump stops coming in but those sit on the out side of where that cone bump stop is.. opinions?

so finally had the time to go underneath and take a look and its rusted out in that spot. so how screwed am i?

yeah my lc is a little rusty mostly body but that spot for the spring is my only concern as in structurally concerning.

how worried should i be if the rubber isolators that sit inside the rear springs fell out and is just sitting inside the spring at the moment... and how do i fix something like that?

anyone know where i can find these parts for the sunroof? or should i just slap some silicon in there and call it.. will that help?

i got that titanium welder from harbor freight so it does both gas and gasless, so if im having a bad time or hard time ill switch over to gas. but i appreciate your advice thank you!

i feel like it was an okay deal... 1997 land cruiser interior was in decent shape ,triple locked, 40th anniversary, engine ran smooth and great, no leaks, everything was working it was just those couple rust spots.. all that for 7k. thoughts?

oh wow im assuming its that black box under the driver seat right? i dont have the fobs but once all the major suspension/engine/body rust is taken car of i was looking into getting the fob if its doable with that black box i have!

also this will be my first time welding as well! and will be done with flux core...

okay im planning on trying to cutting out method and welding and paint since im going to be doing it for the rear wheel well anyways. hopefully its not too bad! here is some before pictures..

this is inside the hood on passenger side. i have a 97 40th anniversary.
