I am looking at a 2009 Land Cruiser and it looks like rust may have gotten a hold of the frame, but I'm not versed enough to know for sure. Anyone let me know from the pics of any real issues to the undercarriage besides just surface rust?
I don't have a plan. It's just shoot from the hip. Make it up as it goes along. But I will post from time to time the progress. I'm definitely doing a LS. But will concentrate on the restoration part more. Gonna take her down to frame, acid dip all metals, ets. Should be fun.
I’m doing a frame up restoration on my first 40, and no surprise, it’s got some rust spots on the driver’s side floor pan. I’m torn between either replacing the floor pan or patching the holes.
At what point do you just replace an area with a new panel vs patching? Here’s photos from above...
Any of you have some advice to remove cab from frame ? I dont have a lift for that,,, maybe with a engine hoist ? engine is already out and I need to replace cabin bushings and work a little on the frame witch is going to be much easier with the cab removed.
every tip that can help is welcome...
NOTE: If one does not want to deal with removing the gussets they could just torch these sections of frame rails and I will disassemble.WTB inner frame gussetts for 64 FJ45. These are riveted into the inside of the frame rails. Need area from steering box to rear of pick up cab. Both sides...
These are riveted into the frame rails. Looking for piece from steering box back to rear of cab on pick up. Both sides. These plates are on-INSIDE of frame and have a series of 2-3 inch holes along the length. Thank you in advance.
Looking for the inner frame gussets for both sides from steering box back to rear of cab on the INSIDE of the frame rails. These are riveted into frame and have a series of 2-3 inch hole spaced out. Good solid condition. Thank you.
Clean and titled 1978 roller frame for a FJ40, changed mind in project after collecting the parts for it over the last few years. Looking to get $3000 or best offer. 5.13 gears front and back still has drum brakes. This is as original as it can come. Thanks for looking.
Just picked up a plasma cutter for a current build and will be taking all the stock frame suspension components/mounts off a fzj80 frame to put under my 62. Frame will be scrapped after so if anyone needs any components off of it for relatively cheap feel free to message me. Body mounts or cross...
I would like to fabricate and replace the rear crossmember on this FJ45. It is a little beat up but not corroded. Not full understanding how the frame rivets work and if I were to grind them off…what would be the process in riveting the new crossmember back on? Can it be bolted or is riveting...
Hey all,
This may be a dumb question, so openly mock me if appropriate. I'm looking at a 2014 LX570 and got pictures of the undercarriage to check for frame rust. It looks clean, but I noticed a long weld seam on the frame and that feels... odd? Would love someone smarter than me to take a...
Front left. Right in front of the engine mount.
The black plastic box is the front diff vent, the one I'm wondering about is the vertical nipple/ barb.
What hooks there? I don't remember.
This is on a 96 Lexus. My 94 FJ didn't have it, or the plastic box either.
I'm planning on remote...
