Hello! First post as I attempt to join the owners club. This ‘13 is for sale locally in the rust belt. It looks to have had rust prevention at one time but is now showing signs of underbody rust. Does this look salvageable if I immediately treat after purchase? Cheers!

Looking at a 250k vehicle this week. Same owner past 20 years. I’ve gathered that it has been maintained at a local shop but suspect no major systems services or updates. So far, photos look pretty solid for rust and condition, one rear quarter panel spot. Tires seem decent from photos. I’m...

I’ve been stalking FB marketplace for a spring green 40 for a year or so now and I came across this one. I’m wondering if anyone sees any major red flags in the pictures. I’m still extremely new to 40’s so please bear with me. Also, I know value can fluctuate significantly depending on how the...

I had a great sale experience with Mud Member @Alex79 - I made a post about needing a set of OEM Fuel Injectors for a 1997 80 series and he came through! Price was very fair, and once he verified payment from me via PayPal, the injectors were shipped the next day with tracking number. From...

I think I found a beautiful 2004 LX 470, I've loves these vehicles since I was a kid, and am interested in purchasing... the miles are low 90K but asking price is high 19K. Looks like it is in GREAT shape. What should I be looking for, any issues...etc.? Also, what are some key points to...

Currently in the market for a land cruiser. Dealers are willing to offer 9% off MSRP - how much should I counter back? Is 15% even possible? I was planning to go with a CPO but none of the nearby dealers currently have one. I never bought any cars from Carmax, but it seems like it has...

I'm looking at a 93 land cruiser that I might buy tomorrow if it is a good buildout platform. Also need it though to take friends around town and stuff so it will double up. It is a 1993 with front and rear lockers, rebuilt front axle, 4 inch suspension lift, upgraded wheels and tires...

Hey everyone! First time posting, so my apologies if this is in the wrong section. I am in need of a new vehicle soon and would love to get an FJ60. It would be my daily driver. I am unsure of the commute right now as I will most likely be moving to Colorado in the next few months. Currently...

So, I have been thinking of picking up a used GX470 for my better half. I found an '08 with a very good maintenance history until Dec. 2016 when a new "small block' was installed. I called the servicing dealer and they tell me the service description says small block replaced, along with spark...
