rust

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...

I’ve got some u-bolts and other various parts left over from my lift project on my 1994 JDM HJZ73. No rust at all. Free…you just pay the shipping.

Hello all! I've been lurking on the forum for a bit now and went to look at my first 100 Series today. Its a 2000, black with 151k miles. I can definitely see why they have such a fantastic following! I drove the LC and immediately fell in love. However, the one I looked at has spent most of its...

hello does anyone have running boards they are trying to make room in there garage. i need the set if anyone has it.

Hey guys, Got a 2001 LC and would like to prep the undercarriage against rust. Winters are not severe in Mid-TN but roads occasionally salted. Any undercoat/spray products recommended for a Southern truck? Experience with shops or coatings? Frequent washes enough? Thanks!

I already posted on dealing with rust on frame but the leaf springs on the OME are rusty and ugly…I’d like to restore to something that resembles nice without removing. Any advice is appreciated!

Has anyone had any experience with the rear quarter panel patches available through cruiser corps? Wondering if they’re worth it.

Ok, the rust has slowly gotten worse over the last 5 years…what is the best way to go about dealing with this? Wire wheel is incredibly tedious and i can’t get in the small nooks and cranny’s ….fluid film? Should incapsulate it? Pics are of the worst spots….obviously worse by exhaust. Front end...

Hi all, Currently stripping my HJ47 Ute back to it's frame and am checking it over for squareness. Pretty new to this and unfortunately the second frame I had which I was hoping to use has far too much internal rust to consider it so I'm trying to seek some advice on how bad the frame I have is...

Hey, friends. I’m tracking a 2006 LC with 200k miles. Great service history. One owner, garage kept in the South. Would love to get some takes on attached undercarriage pics. Looks clean to me, but I’d love to hear from others. Thanks!

HI all, First post here after lurking for a long time. I was looking for a LC100 for a few months before i found this one and brought it home. I gave it a once over before buying and knew it had some light rust, but nothing unmanageable. Fluids and prior paperwork looked good so I snagged it...

What would be the cause, or is this typical of the 100 series to have some rust developing at the top edge of the windshield, and in that roof gutter that has the plastic strip? Rest of the vehicle is rust free including the frame, driveline, and suspension components.

Hi all, Wanted some advice on what the best possible fix for a rusted vacuum connection that broke would be? The vacuum line can't connect anymore because the nipple portion has rusted and broken off. Any ideas?
