    07 LX470 Question rust repair

    Hey y’all, pulled the trigger on an 07 LC470 with 115k miles on it. Interior is great and engine is perfect, but got some rust to it. Most of it is “surface” rust, but there is some corrosion that has created holes in the rear quarter panels/wheel well area. Has anyone had any luck with body...

    Newbie impressions and newbie questions

    In my first week of LX470 ownership, never had a car this tall or bulky before. Just as a reminder I bought this at 220k miles for $6700 from the first owner, it has always been in the Bay Area. PPI was fine, no rust and mechanically sound. The interior was pretty dirty, but nothing a detail...

    Carb issue after reinstalling (California type)

    *edit* I forgot to mention that this is a 1985 FJ60 I just recently cleaned out my carb thanks to the wonderful videos by Pinhead on YouTube. My truck was not passing smog, and after a mechanic refused to work on my carb until I took care of any potential vacuum issues, I am low on funds for...
