I had to pull the glass because water was leaking into the car at several places around the windshield. The windshield was replaced 10-20 years ago, I am not sure who did it, but they did not follow precedures. They used no dams, no stoppers, no rivets. they painted a couple areas, knicked more...

Anyone familiar with OEM internal finishes of the hzj75? Finally planning to tackle some rust repairs before a camp buildout in the back of the Troopy and have a couple questions. My driver and passenger floorboards seem to have a rubberized seal over the top of them, is this OEM or...

Hi All, Just bought because i been missing my previous LC 100 that I sold to get a family vehicle back in 2018 and been missing it since then. What do you think? 2004. 102K miles. Minor rust because it is from NY. Always serviced at local Toyota dealership. All records. Exhaust, break lines, AC...

Looking to try and source a rust free or even new lower radiator support (part number for lj78 is 53028-60020 and kzj78 is 53028-60021) In reality these should be identical parts as they are the same frame and front end? Mine is rusted out unfortunately see photos attached. I’m located in...

First time posting here! I have a '98 LX470 that's been in my family since new - I was born in '96 so I've literally grown up in this truck. It's still running strong, but I let the rust get away from me in the back and now I'm paying for it. I need to repair rust on both rear quarters behind...

Original thread on the acquisition and rust repair here I've been daily driving this BJ42 for the past three years after it sat at a friends acreage for two years. The daily grind, as well as the thirteen years since I did the major rust repair, has taken a toll. We've been to Moab and done...

See video above. Rust goes through the body Many years ago, the car lived near the coast, making trips to Lake Tahoe several times a year. Any idea what causes this? The interior is apart because of a sunroof leak from kinked front and rear drain hoses. I am unfamiliar with body repair and am...

My cousin is looking at buying a 62 in San Diego. Overall decent condition but has a decent amount of rust on the quarter panels and undercarriage. I’m comfortable advising him on the engine work, but haven’t dealt much with rust/chassis so would appreciate any insight you guys have...

Howdy All, I recently came across a multi owner 100 series up for sale. The body and interior are in great shape for the age and amount of owners it has had. The only problem is it from up north... The rust... Oh God the rust... Is it even worth having a PPI done on it? She looks pretty rough...

Thinking about buying this 200 series, anyone think this rust is too much to go forward with? It's a 2018 with 90k miles from Montana, the rust didnt originally scare me as im in nw pa but doing more reading apparently it can be a killer. If it needs some work done to it im willing to at the...

Just purchased this last week, and I’m trying to plan out the best way to go about this. It seems like this is the only rust(that I can see) on the under body and I want to try and catch this while I can. Would this be worth taking into a body shop and having them do the work/repaint? Or do...

Hey y’all, wondering if I need to be concerned by this rust on an FJ62? Just surface stuff? Or should I be worried about taking this overlanding? Cheers & thanks for any advice!

New owner of LX700 and my first Body on Frame vehicle. I have heard rust is critical issue and wanted to get suggestion in what the best approach. I believe body is all aluminum and rust protection is only required for the under body. I heard lot of good reviews about Krown.

Went down the rabbit hole last night of rust under the windshield issues. Sure enough, I can spot some rust in between the trim pieces and the a-piller. I read that it’s a good idea to go ahead and pull the windshield as preventative maintenance just in case there is surface rust in there. My...

Mine is rusted out. I currently have a body shop working on it. They were going to fab the metal but decided it would be better to find one to use. I am trying to get in touch with 2 sellers on Alibaba, but I have to buy at least 5 sets (drivers and passengers), and then have it shipped from...

Hello All, I bought a 1978 FJ40, and though it has lots going for it, it may have been a mistake. It certainly needs a new tub, which I am game to take on. I have a welder now and want to get to work soon. However, I'm starting to wonder if this particular FJ40 is worth it. I sanded a few...

Hi Everyone, I am looking at a 2000 LC100 4.2 turbo diesel. the car look in good shape cosmetically and looks like it has no rust. the seller writes "Serviced thoroughly. Oil (Toyota 5W30) + all filters, belts, and rollers have been replaced. Front calipers and all brake pads have been changed...

I am a new 80 series owner and I spend way too much time reading threads on this forum. I acquired my rig in December, 2023. It has low miles (100k) and is in great shape. It spent a good part of its early life in the Midwest, but does not have a lot of rust on the frame or body, as the PO...

Hey all, I'm new to the forum but not new to Toyota trucks. I've always been a gear head and currently have a 3rd Gen TRD Supercharged 4Runner and Honda S2000. I've always loved the look of the FJ60 but didn't want to buy something thats been modded or repaired incorrectly so I began the...
