rust

So the only rust I've found on my '87 came when I pulled off the hard top. It's a very small area, but I don't want any rust if possible. I have no experience with rust. What's the right way to fix this quickly and easily (no patch repaint obviously)? See Pic below. This is Drivers side near...

Has anyone ever done this before? Cut the cab just in front of the wheel wells and welded in some kind of back panel that gives the fj6o a truck look and attached a aluminum box? What would cost more in labor and part? Doing this or repairing both inner/outer wheel wells and quarter panels...

I was unable to lower the spare tire using the winch on my 2006 LC because it was pretty much rusted solid. I ordered the winch from ToyotaPartsDeal.com for $110 and decided to tackle the project yesterday. My winch had the theft prevention doodad on it and there was so much rust that I likely...

I have a set of 2 (two) FJ60 front fenders, rust free, clean lines, no dents, for sale I have an inner fender for one side also. one is red one is blue, they will need to be repainted. I also have a couple FJ60 doors which will be posted seperately. I had them for replacement on my last truck...

What is the best anti-rust paint, rust out there?

I recently made a thread about my roof rack removal experience on my '97. None of the nutserts spun on me and the bolts came out relatively smoothly. After threading in some new bolts, the nutserts are still holding plenty of torque. However, I was hoping I could get some advice here on how...

First off let me thank everyone on this forum for the wealth of invaluable information. I have been talking with a local dealer about a 2005 LX470 with 216,000 miles. The vehicle is a 2 owner NC vehicle with 29 carfax service records, timing belt and water pump were recently done. The vehicle...

I have rust beginning on the lower portion of a driver's side door that needs looking after before it gets too out of control. I know on the outside I can sandblast/wire brush/POR15 treatment then prime, paint and re-apply seam sealer but, what can I do about the hidden rust that is surely in...

New member, Great forum, learned a lot and hope I can contribute in the future. I'm abut to buy a cruiser sight unseen, I have asked to seller to provide photos of the frame, an it shows rust, and I'm wondering -from your experiences- if this is considered bad or manageable. It's a '99 LC with...

1991 Toyota Land Cruiser | eBay Its currently in Canukistan. So if you have any idea on how much it costs to broker the import as well that would be helpful. I mostly worried about the rust around the windows as shown in the pictures, because I dont know if that would be an easy thing to fix.

Yesterday I decided I was going to see about putting some auxiliary reverse lights mounted to the stock bumper. After getting the cover of, I was very shocked to see the amount of rust. I knew one of the previous owners used the truck to take their boat to a salt water area, an apparently they...

Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy either a 02/03 or 07/08 Tacoma. I heard recently that they had issues with the frame rusting. Are they still recalling them and replacing them or has that offer expired? If so, what can I do to protect the frame from getting rusted? And finally, I want to name...

They are from a 78 but the PO trimmed the outside corners for a late model. They have no rust and no hardware. $650 pr

I'm looking to get an 2008 to 2010 200 series. I found one and the dealer disclosed that there is some surface rust on the under carriage. What are your thoughts? Should I run away from it or negotiate? This on is an 08 with 110K miles on it.

I'm pretty far into this build to be starting a build thread but I have admired so many others stories that I feel obligated to make one too. I bought this project a right before getting married in 2014, bad timing to start a project. The wife's jokes to "train me" were the origin of the...

Hello, Im Connor Im new to the forums and just picked up my 99 UZJ100 LC 4 days ago. Im living in Georgia and picked up the truck in NC. It spent a good portion of its life up in Massachusetts. I don't know the maintenance records from the PO, But the car runs strong and overall feels healthy...

I have been using a rust reversal technique on my rust belt cruiser for the last 6 months. I have discovered that a mix of bar chain oil and Fluid Film makes a easily sprayable coating that finds its way into the threads and nuts. Things that were straight up seized and crumbling have since come...

This project truck of mine spent most all of her years snow/salt free here in NC (down east/central), but she did live in the mountains for about a year and a half. There is certainly rust (as I pictured in the "rusted pos" thread), but it isn't prevalent everywhere: Most all the bad...

Ok.... I'm thinking about buying my first fj60. It drives great and has been very well maintained. But it has some rust in the usual spots. Will I regret buying this or should I go for it? How much would you estimate to patch 10 rust spots and completely repaint? Any advice is much appreciated!
