rust repair

I’ve got some body rust spots in the floor pans of my 1996 HZJ75 Troop Carrier and looking for a community shop around Seattle that I can work out of to do a couple days of work at this summer to do the repairs. I plan to cut, grind, and MIG weld in a couple metal patches. Does anyone have any...

Hey cruiser bros. Adding another rust thread on here. I have his quarter panel I’m needing to knock out just makes the car look ugly and it seems very cancerous. How the hell would I go about fixing the panel fraying from the inner wheel tub like this? Any ideas on cruiser outfitters quarter...

Long time lurker here, and have appreciated all that I've been able to learn from you guys as I've watched and read from a distance. I guess this first post will just be an intro to my cruiser and I'll add some more details below, as I've already commenced on the build. Bought my 1985 60 Series...

Just to preface, I knew this truck was going to have some rust going in. I import vehicles and have a friend in Japan doing translations and even looking at cars before they're bid on. I was able to afford and justify using this truck for the more moderate wheeling I have planned because it's...

I know Kelly is in Flag. Anyone know of a local shop to do some work? I have a rust bucket.

Hi all- a coworker is restoring her deceased brother's CJ5 and needs someone to weld/repair these rusted spots. These are at the bolts under the seats. They don't care about the appearance/neatness of the weld as it will be covered. Is anyone wanting to take on the project for extra holiday...

Question for the experts. Is this fixable? It was the first door I did and I’m kicking myself for using the whole patch and not cutting it down to the minimal size I needed to cut out the rust.(like I did my second door.). I watched some videos about using a shrinker disc… Or a torch… Would...

Hi folks! New to the community and have very minimal mechanical experience. I purchased a 99 LX470 with completely rusted out fender bottoms and soft rockers. It’s currently at a welding shop have patches welded in to repair this hole. My question is, does the fab guy have to include sunroof...

Hi all, I spoke to a gentlemen about my specific problem and he referred me to this forum. I hope someone on here can help. I have a 1997 FJ80 40th year Anniversary and my frame is rusted out. I would like to keep the truck. What, if anything can be done?

Hello Mud Friends! It has come time to do some rust mitigation and as things typically go, they are now snowballing and I need some advice. We have owned our family 1983 FJ60 in 861 blue for over 7 years now. She came with some rust in the rear quarters that has progressed over the years. She...

When your cruiser approaches 30 years there will surely be rust behind the window weather strips. If there is no visible rust yet, it is only a matter of time before it creeps out. Here is a writeup/video I made when I fixed my windscreen. Read here: Inditravel.org

Hi all, Before I start, I want to give another huge shout out to @GLTHFJ60 who was instrumental in making this project happen and I cannot thank him enough for his guidance and help along the way! For those following my build thread, I have already detailed it there but I wanted to make a...

Forgot to seal/do anything to OEM roof rack bolt holes about 8 months ago after rack delete. Yes I know, probably one of the stupidest things anyone could do. ( I'm a high school student, please spare me the hate I know how stupid it was to forget about something so huge) Anyways, Id like to...

I have a few places rust is starting to show up on my 80 series. The usual spots...Bottom of the doors, rear window, bottom of rear rocker. Can anyone recommend a shop in the Lower Mainland that could potentially take on repair of the rust? Fraser Valley area preferred, but just looking for...

Hello Mud People! This is the story of Harumi the Rusty Rescue, a poor neglected cruiser full of rust holes. I've wanted a Land Cruiser since I was 16, but ended up getting a 1st gen 4Runner when I was 17 (which was a compromise with the folks, who were footing the bill). The 4Runner served me...

Hi, all. I'm cross posting this because I asked in the 100 forum for advice on a potential purchase here in CT. But I also wanted to put out there that I'm looking for a 100-series to be the more around-town sidekick to my '86 FJ60. If anyone can advise on the rust issue of the one I refer to...

Hey all, I just recently got a 1996 lx450 to turn into an overland project, not sure if this is the right place to post something like this since I’m new to forums so I apologize if it’s out of place, the model I picked up does have a couple rust holes near the windshield, and I’d really hate to...

Apologies if I'm posting on the wrong page; I'm new here, but hoping to get advice on fixing rust and at what point it becomes a problem not worth fixing. Now I'll admit I did a stupid thing--I bought the truck from people in Illinois without getting pics of the frame/powertrain. 150,000 mi w/...

Hi All: Former FJ-62 owner. Considering purchasing a '95. Here are some pics of the underbody. Is this amount of rust concerning? Thanks in advance.
