rust

Hello all, Been on hunt all over forums, fb marketplace, private sellers and dealers for an LC100 or LX 470. I found a low mileage 2004 lx 470 with the following pictures foe the undercarriage. Need someone experienced opinion if you see anything. It looks like rust is surface and on the...

This is what I'm working with. I know I can cut out and repair what has been eaten through. Does anyone know who might sell new wheel wells or a new tub before I begin fixing what is there?

I have a few locations that have started to develop rust on the body. Any idea what has caused this? I had it painted about 5 years ago. Maybe the prep was not so great. The door hinge metal appears to be bulging out and has developed 4 dimples when comparing it to the other side. There is...

Saw this 06’ lx470 undercarriage looks too good to be true only 130k miles. Almost looks painted over. What do you think? Appreciate any help! Car is from Wisconsin

Just thought I'd post this up since there are always posts regarding treating rust and with some are paying top dollar for "rust free" 100's, or anyone looking to preserve their's. I recently acquired a "rust free" southern '99 LX. I have been going thru it to clean it up and pulled the...

Hi guys, Kind of new here, did a lot of searches, but every rust is different, Just can't get the answer by myself Is this kind of rust a deal breaker? If it's around 19K before tax 150k mile 03, record is very good and the rest of the truck, body interior is perfect and clean How much do I...

Howdy all. I visited my folks in Utah over the holiday and noticed my Dad’s LX470 has a bit of rust appearing on the underside of the doors. Similar situation on the tailgate. The underside of the truck looks clean at a glance, likely attributable to weekly washes that include the underside...

I have this FZJ80 sitting here that I bought a few years ago for the frame and axles , I haven't really done anything with it and it's getting to be in my way so I have 2 options . Option A pull the body off the frame and sell the body Option B sell the complete thing Let's focus on option A...

Last Friday I took the day off to travel up North and meet my wife for a NYE party. She had gone up the night prior with our daughter, which left me and the doggo with idle hands and no supervision. I took the opportunity to jingle the chain of nearly everyone selling a 60 or 80 series or some...

I know it's always a "concern" but as I've been looking at the a 100-series, I started considering 200-series. The 100's, if they had spent any tine in the "salt belt", seem to be prone to serious rust issues. Do the 200's have the same concern? Sure, I'd check anything I'm serious about...

I’m looking at this one with 120K miles. It’s exceptionally clean but this is the pic of the undercarriage. I can’t get to it in person so thought I’d ask you experts….deal breaker at $18-$22K?

looking at 2004 lx470 several hours from me, price is pretty great honestly. body and interior look clean. I asked for frame pics. I thought it looked okay, except for the first. What do Ya'll think? 250k miles

Looking for a FJ40 one piece hood, surface rust ok, no rot.

Hey all, new LC100 owner and new LC owner in general. Got an automated message to introduce myself. Very very excited to be here. Finally able to join the club. I have a 98 with 179k on the odo. All major services are up to date to include dif fluid and tranny fluid. It’s a rust belt truck as I...

I have a LOT of rot right in front and behind the wheel wells in the back (left and right). Not sure what you call those areas. Dog legs? It stretches up into the rockers. Both inside and outside were rusted out. I kept cutting and kept finding more rust. I had to remove the spot welds and...

sorry couldnt delete post. Was pointless to post in this thread

I'm looking at purchasing an 01 LX, and think I found one for a reasonable price near me, in what looks to be a decent condition, sans operable AHC, which to me isn't as important. It's 330k miles, with an asking price of $4,900. Now, I'm relatively handy and have worked on my '99 Isuzu Rodeo...

2015 LX 570 129,000 miles Body is mint frame is ????? Pulled the trigger on this and waiting for the PPI I am concerned about the “surface” rust and is it worse than what appears? It needs to be washed so the dirt and salt residue can be removed making it easier to see existing rust. I...
