Hi guys! Happy Friday. I am looking at the LX570 https://my.caredge.com/buy/details?zip=37129&state=TN&vin=JTJHY7AX0E4149442&mileage=81318&radius=7000&listingId=JTJHY7AX0E4149442-79cd2e85-5a40&inventoryType=used&make=Lexus&model=LX&year=2014&dealerId=11019531 I saw this rust underneath. The...

Hi all. You really helped me to decide to return a LC a couple of weeks ago because of issues found during a dealer inspection. Keep it or Return it? 1999 LC with 93K Miles - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/keep-it-or-return-it-1999-lc-with-93k-miles.1334204/ Now I am looking at another LC...

I came across this while going through my recently purchased cruiser. It is on the inner fender well driver side. Is it fixable?

Pretty much what you see in the pictures. Post 1975 FJ40. Some rust in back, but overall the tub and body are in pretty good shape. Some rust on hardtop sides. Very fixable. Fiberglass cap is trashed. Hood is crap, full of bondo (not from this cruiser) Drum brake front axle. Not sure why...

Hi guys, new to this forum. Recently picked up a 95 cruiser, its got both rocker panels rusted out. Everything else is clean and solid. Was looking to get the current rockers chopped and replaced with these. What do you think?

Does anyone know if they exist and have a link for them? I hope to attack the rust in mine this summer and would rather have some preformed Panels to work with rather than forming them by hand. Thanks.

Here are some pictures of rust spots - rear tailgate, a pillars, roof, rear tailgate What are the steps/tools I need to go about fixing this rust? I know, it’s a lot. Its been in northern California all its life rusted from the top down

After 8 great years with my lx470 the wife wants me to replace it so im doing the logical thing and looking at lx570s. Besides from a transmission failure everything else on my 470 has been replaced due to rust since I'm in the north east. For the next one I want to start with a fresh zero...

I'm looking for a rust free LC 200, 2008 to 2015. I have cash. Please PM or email mnhead762@gmail.com. I'm in Norther VA, but will travel . Thank you.

I'm in the market for an older LX that I’m going to use as a project car. I want to get it cleaned up, detailed and use for the next 5-8 years for occasional weekend trips with the family. I don’t see myself putting more than 5k miles on it annually. I found a 2008 LX locally with 120k miles...

I'm planning to get my roof rack deleted as it appears to be a source of water leakage. With my luck there will likely be rust on the roof. I'm planning ahead with a fabricator to weld the holes shut and weld in new sheet metal as necessary. This is a 1996 so headliner removal shouldn't be...

1985 FJ73 Australia In the midst of a rust tear down which surprisingly has been going pretty good up until now. Things that I thought might become serious are mostly superficial. However! I have removed my windscreen to investigate rust spots where it meets the cowl/beaver panel/bonnet hinge...

Hi there! I found a '97 that looked decent on the exterior and interior, but looks a little troublesome underneath. Should I pass? Thanks!

Appologies if this is not the right place to post this. Thoughts on this LX in an area they salt the roads. I know it wouldn't fly in the Southwest, but is this bad enough to pass on for the Northeast?

My GX470 has steel sliders and front and rear bumpers from Coastal Offroad that seem to be only be painted and not very robustly protected from salt or otherwise rusting. Last spring I lighted sanded and hit a few of the worst spots with some rust prevention spray paint but of course the rust...

Howdy land cruiser lovers, I have been looking at a troopy online and it is the dream vehicle. LHD, dual tanks, lockers, 1HZ and a reasonable prize tag. It was previously a UN vehicle, sat for many years then restored by the owner. I do not have the ability to look at it in person but have...

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...

Hey Guys, I'm looking to purchase my first LC200 and I'm looking at this one in NY with 57k miles. It's been in the tri-state area it's whole life and it has some rust down there, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion before I signed for it, especially since I won't be able to see it in...

Looking at this pretty decent example of a 200 from Texas but there’s a little bit of surface rust under it. What do you guys think?

Hi: will treating under carriage surface rust with POR-15 or similar hurt me if I decide to sell down the road? How does a buyer think about it? Light surface rust on frame welds (seams), fuel tank plate, front plate, etc. Seems like a buyer would be skeptical of recently treated under...
