Thanks guys. Got her up on the lift and the frame is solid. It has some surface rust but no weak points anywhere. The body took the rust way worse than the frame for whatever reason.

going to enjoy it, for sure will use it as a camping/snow buggy but would like advice on what I’d be getting myself into if I choose to restore and how many years we think it’s got left before something needs to be done.
I pulled the carpets back and didn’t see any rust in the interior.
I just bought this from the original owners for $2k. 1987 Land Cruiser. Original owner, 270k miles, all original. Came with original books and manuals. Runs and drives good but it’s got some rust. It’s been here in South Lake Tahoe CA it’s whole life.
How bad do you guys think this rust is? My...
