rust

Hi All, I'm looking to purchase a 2004 LX 470 with extremely low miles 71k based in the northeast - price is $25k, but I'm sure I can negotiate. Outside exterior and interior is pristine, but I noticed some rust on the undercarriage. I'm not an expert on these vehicles and was looking for advice...

All, I came across a 2000 Land Cruiser with 188k. One owner, clean maintenance record. Seller is asking $5,000. The issue is Rust. See pictures attached/below. Looking for your advice and a purchase/no-purchase decision. Looking for reccomended repair cost to frame, components, and body...

Looking at maybe dipping my toe into a GX470... just wondering if anyone has an opinion on a rusty undercarriage. These are cropped from a car buying website, so if that violates something, please let me know. This vehicle is a little too far for me to check it in person, but I would do a PPI...

Hi there, I brought this beast out from Maryland, luckily not much rust, as it was originally from the SW anyway. Since buying, I've replaced the tires and battery, done what I could with the undercarriage rust, probably needs a new starter. It has aftermarket seats and a new stereo. Spare tire...

I’m doing a frame up restoration on my first 40, and no surprise, it’s got some rust spots on the driver’s side floor pan. I’m torn between either replacing the floor pan or patching the holes. At what point do you just replace an area with a new panel vs patching? Here’s photos from above...

Hey all, I have an opportunity to pick up a 2013 570 about $7k below market due to a good bit of rust and an inoperable tailgate. What would you do (or have done) to figure out if the savings is worth the service that's needed? Thanks.

Hey all, anyone have experience fixing body rust or rust in this specific area and can help walk me through how I can repair this? I have a welder and I did a simple repair of some rust in this area already with some sheet metal and some screws/silicone to seal up the opening into the body...

Joining 80-series addicts. I acquired this foreign beauty or what left and started working on it. She isn't in the best shape but rust is something she don't know much about. It is pre-facelift 1993 1FZ-FE in VX-R trim with some mixed parts on. Car went through some minor front collision which...

I need to replace the entire exhaust system on my 09 LC200. Completely rusted out. Should I just order a full OEM replacement or cheaper / better performance with aftermarket?

Hi folks, I have rust in the driver side footwell as pictured. Luckily all of it is pretty thin so not major structural issues. It looks like the water was getting trapped under old sound deadening that had hardered and insulation under the carpet. What I can't figure out is where it's coming...

In the process of installing a new radiator and all the bolts are rusted/snapping. I’ve seen the metric overland kit that has all the bolts but is out of stock. Does anyone know of another source for the bolts besides the dealer?

Hi all, Looking at a 2013 LX with what appears to be a significant amount of rust. Seller says that it's not structural and is most significantly on the skid plate, but looks pretty pervasive. Pass?

Hi all, I'm about to rebuild my original carb in my 1980 and I've got a lot of rust going on around the base and along the block/manifold. Any ideas on what could cause this type of corrosion and how to avoid that in the future? My air intake manifold rail had 3 out of the 5 fittings...

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new here as I just acquired my first 60-series a couple of weeks ago, but I have some questions about the C-Channels on the rig. I'm wondering if I could get away with not replacing them and just de-greasing/metal-prepping/POR-15-ing them, or if they need to be...

Hello! First post as I attempt to join the owners club. This ‘13 is for sale locally in the rust belt. It looks to have had rust prevention at one time but is now showing signs of underbody rust. Does this look salvageable if I immediately treat after purchase? Cheers!

Bought this "rust free, we don't salt roads in Colorado" 80. Didn't consider looking under the carpets, since it seemed really rust free compared to "out east" corrosion levels. Sadly it had several through body holes, front of both rear fenders and rear of another. Make sure you do your...

Hey all, This may be a dumb question, so openly mock me if appropriate. I'm looking at a 2014 LX570 and got pictures of the undercarriage to check for frame rust. It looks clean, but I noticed a long weld seam on the frame and that feels... odd? Would love someone smarter than me to take a...

Help me save my baby! I’m thinking wire wheel rust inhibitor and flat black overcoat? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Guy in my area is selling an FJ62. He wants $6,300. I think its worth $4,500. Thoughts? I test drove it today, brakes are soft, other than that is drives well and pretty much everything operates. The rust on the back is pretty bad, per picture. However in front of the rear driveshaft there isnt...
