I'm posting for a friend looking for rust free ambulance doors. Shipping preferred to Iowa

Sell me your rust bucket. i have a need and some ideas i'd love to mess with. chuck

I've got some rot on my DS rocker panel. It's about the size of a silver dollar, but it's gone pretty deep. Is my best bet to cut and weld a new piece on with it still on the truck? Or would I be able to remove the rocker panel and fix it that way? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Recently acquired a 1980 HJ45... knew that it had some frame issues but was hard to tell to what extent with the flat tires high grass/vegetation growing around it. Now have it home and have put some new tires the frame being worked on and higher on one side is more obvious. On a...

Cruisers...I am curious to hear ideas you may have on how to spot treat rust. My '70 40 has a good few spots of rust...all over the exterior. Nothing I want to sand and treat...I just want to slow the progression. Keep the patina, but slow it down. Someone mentioned nail polish....really? I...

I guy I work with told me to try using feed molasses mixed with water 9 parts water one molasses to remove rust. apparently it takes about two weeks kept at 20 degrees. He gets the molasses at a feed store just outside of Duncan near radd cruisers for 20$ enough to do a 45 gallon drum. No nasty...

I bought a LX450 from the rust-belt (IL). It's a low mile example (88k mi), but does suffer some rust in the rear undercarriage. The rear axle's spring mounts seem to be collapsing a little (at least the mounts seem to be slightly bent inward). When I tried to remove the brake line mount clips...

Hey Just picked up a 1990 fj62. Runs strong, drives great. Has typical rust, and is sporting a palm size hole in the rear quarter panel, at the bottom corner by the wheel well. 2 part question, I have already searched the forum..... 1) Anyone have any experience passing MA inspection with some...

my buddy just picked up this 1999 land cruiser and noticed this rust underneath the bottom of bumper lip.. how bad is this ? what caused this ? .. seems like a really weird spot .. possible rear sunroof drain ?... car is from north east but other rear side quarter panel is perfectly fine...

I haven't been able to go get any dry ice to remove the deadening yet, so I figured while i wait for the weekend I might as see how well the rust converter works on what's currently exposed. Honestly, I'm a little underwhelmed, it just seems like it didn't do that great of a job. I hit it with...

After much pondering , I thought of sharing this with the fellow mudders. I purchased two Bajaracks back in July-2013 (me+friend) and at that time, the Baja folks were very considerate to fabricate it with low profile legs (so we could fit it inside our garages) and added a few tabs, front ...

Hey there, I'm working on some wheel well repairs on my Tacoma (the dreaded body rust area on trucks) and was wondering if anyone on here around northeast Ohio already has a hobby paint setup. I've got a decent sized piece of stainless steel to weld around the bottom of the wheel well. I don't...

Cruiser is running great. Many thanks to the forum for that. Now I am looking to stop and repair the typical rust that comes with these things. This is work I neither have the tools or the skill set for though. Hoping someone out there has a guy in Northern VA that they can recommend. Thanks.

Looking to buy my first LC. Found 2004 Land Cruiser for $9900, 248000 mi. Carfax shows VT, WI use so I was concerned about rust. Please see pics and let me know if I should be concerned. LC looks clean otherwise. Comments on whether a deal or not would e great also. Thanks Widge

I'm looking at this 1991 FJ80 it has under 80,000 original miles. However, it is rusty underneath. The body looks ok and the interior is very good. Price is around $1,000. The engine, interior and transmission should be fantastic. What do you think about these options. 1. Swaping parts with a...

I just bought a 2000 Land Cruiser with 175k miles. It is overall in appropriate shape. The only think that bothers me is some rust bubbling on the roof, in the middle of the windshield. It is about 4"x1.5". In addition, the sunroof was apparently closed with silicone and was duck taped...

Hey everyone, Before I get into my tale of woe, this thread is simply to provide you with my experience with trying, and failing, to protect my HJ61 from the dreaded brown cancer. If you have experience (good or bad) with any particular product over time please post them up. I'm keen to hear...

Hey all, My '85 FJ60 is my daily driver. It was handed down to me from my parents who bought it back when they got married in '85. The ultimate goal is to get the truck back in (or close to) it's original shape. Mechanically, everything's in pretty good shape. Engine is healthy and all that. So...

Hello All, First want to say that this is a great site. I have been lurking for a month or so since I bought my 97. It only had 120k miles on it and it is super clean from the undercarriage up. There was some extensive surface rust throughout the bottom of the vehicle. This is what I did to...
