rust

72 FJ40 rocker panel rust through on both sides. I can replace entire section or just cut out and patch. Are there drain holes to prevent future rust? Thinking of perforated aluminum panel or similar. Thoughts?

Team - One of my interior seat anchor's for driver's side jump seat is fairly rusty compared to all other anchors. What if anything do I do about this? I'm thinking getting an abrasive brush extension for my cordless drill, clean it up, and then brush some primer on? Am I overthinking it...

Hi y’all. I’m new here and trying to jump into the deep end of the 100 Series owners club. I’ve had Jeeps in the past but love the idea of something with the same capability but more reliability and comfort. My budget is tight and I have my heart set on an 03+ (which may not be entirely...

I have a set of patch panels for a 60 series that are great for some rust repair. These are for the rear lower. They have just been sitting and in great shape. I can't find them for less than $350 plus a side. $500 shipped on these. Feel free to ask any questions.

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.

Hi all, I recently came across a 1980 BJ42 LX (factory ac, power steering, 3B engine) for sale semi-locally. The first set of photos I received was pretty promising. Owner assured me that the vehicle runs well, but the body will "need some work". My Dad and I are a fairly handy pair, so I...

Hey everyone, First time posting on here/first time on an auto forum in general/first time buyer. I’m currently looking at purchasing a 1997 Lexus LX450 that I’d like to turn into an overlanding/camping rig. The inside and external body is in near mint condition, however I’m uncertain as to...

I am considering buying this LX, its in excellent condition, 123k miles, but comes from the northeast. I live in NC, would love some feedback on the level of rust on the undercarriage as i am considering this for a daily driver. Thanks

I’m looking to buy this LC 100. It’s one owner, no accident 150k miles, body is rust free but has this under body rust. Please help if I should buy this at 15k or not:

I’ve noticed over the last two months I’ve got some patches of rust that have started to develop in my rear wheel wells. I want to get on top of it and stop it from spreading. Any ideas or recommendations?

Looking for expert advice on the cost of rust treatment, or possible complete replacement of parts on this beautiful beast Toyota FJ60. I’ve attached pictures to show the extent of the rust. The exterior doesn’t have any. It’s lived in The Bay Area for the last 30 years in a garage, and taken on...

A previous owner did a lot of body work on my cruiser to remediate some rust on quarter panels. The undercarriage looks good overall but I did find one spot of concern regarding rust. It is one of the frame connections near the rear passenger tire (not sure how else to describe it). Pictures...

Front frame below radiator had more rust than I wanted to allow. Knocked it down with a wire brush and painted over it.

I'm looking at 2005 LC with 144K. Price is great at $10K, but let me know what you think about this rust (especially the door). It was in IL most of its life - service record on Carfax are decent, but also no record of a timing belt so I'd be looking at that straight away. I would greatly...

I've been looking for a 100 series for a while and came across a low mileage (~95k) 2006 LX470. It's from up North (Montana), so I figured there would be some rust. I'm from the Southwest, so I have zero experience with the stuff. Can someone take a look at these photos and let me know?

Ok, so I'm looking for some advice from the FJ community about this potential purchase. I've been looking off and on for a while, and ran across a 2008 FJ Cruiser for sale that has about 110k on it. It's the 6 speed, which I want. It has the locker, A-trac, inverter, subwoofer, and the button...
