rust

Hello, I’ve looked through several threads with similar rust questions but I feel like I’m too emotionally invested in the vehicle to make an unbiased decision. Vehicle is a 2006 Lx470 which has spent most of its life in Delaware and is at 180k miles. Buyer is asking $18k. CARFAX shows a good...

Hey guys, First post here, I apologize if this is the wrong sub. I am going to test drive this 4runner tomorrow, it’s got 115k miles for 15k which is a great deal here in NC. I’ve been searching for a couple of months and this is the best deal I’ve seen. I’m tempted to buy it, find someone in...

It seems I am a glutton for punishment. At different points two pigs have found their way into my life. We all are familiar with the challenges of rust with our trucks. I’m having a real challenge finding rear quarter panels for 74 and 75 trucks. If you have any / know of where to source...

So I live in WV. Most body shops around just want to do collision repair. Others that do renovation have long wait lists (was told 2 years by one person). Background, I have a ‘88 FJ 62. Pretty good condition in terms of body, but there are a few areas mostly around the back window and few...

I’ma newbie looking for my first 100 series. I went in person to the dealership and everything looks ok to me aside from some rust which shows in the attached pics of the underside; looks like mostly muffler, and no evidence of overspray. No idea what the source of the green paint splatters...

This is a 2006 LC with 200k miles up for sale near me for 20k at a Toyota dealership. PO traded it in for an 09. It was clearly his offroading Rig. Its got 35's on it, nice wheels, a good front bumper, and the exterior is pretty clean minus some pin striping. I know there's going to be different...

Found some deep rust on my passenger floor board that had made its way through so I decided to cut the small section out and grind the rest of the surface rust down and coat it with some Crc until I could have a new piece welded in. Of course accidentally while I was cutting I nicked the metal...

Hey guys new here. Was wondering if this is too much rust on the under carriage to not purchase. 2008 LX 570 88000 THANKS!!

Have a set of 40 doors. Everything is there (glass, crank, door card, handle etc) but the bottom is rusted past what my body shop wants to work on. Do I sell as a whole or part out?

Hi All, looking at a 2015 LC that's spent life in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I think I know the answer, but wanted to get some feedback anyway. Any thoughts are appreciated. Is this too much rust for a 2015?

If you have a lot of rear frame rust as per rusty 100 things, not all hope is lost for a rear bumper. In this post I'll detail the issues I had with pretty gnarly frame rust and how my local fab guy Kyce did a great job fixing the frame up and installing the amazing Dissent Rear Bumper...

I've looked through some threads here and other places. Varying advice on dealing with liftgate rust When I bought my cruiser, it had tape holding up the left license plate light. Eventually it fell down and I jerry rigged it to stay in place. But I saw some rust spots around the edges and put...

Need some advice on a hole that I found on my frame. Gotta love rust belt trucks :frown: I took it to a local body shop who dug into it and ultimately decided against welding to repair it. Apparently the previous owner attempted past repairs with epoxy. The shop’s suggesting I find a new...

Found a fair priced 2014 LC in my area and am wondering if I can get a second opinion on the rust on the frame. Body is in cherry condition and it’s been garage kept, but spent the first 6 years of its life in the northeast (New Hampshire and Massachusetts) Below are the photos of the frame...

(Crossposted between here and the UZJ100 FB Group) Hi all! Looking for some rear bumper advice. I have some rust that has the rear cross member a bit jacked. I ordered a Dissent Offroad v3 high clearance reae bumpwr without the cross member cuz I don't tow. After looking at the rust on my 100...

Hey all, I have a question regarding my 2002 land cruiser GPS / deck. Looking to trade out the touch screen gps for the 2001 plain deck. Any for sale and will it fit? Thanks for everyone help. Also when it comes to rust, anything I can do for the under body? Thanks all!

Hey all, I am working on my June 72 FJ40, and am making slow steps to getting it back into running shape. The exhaust manifold is incredibly rusty, and I am concerned the heat riser may not be working due to the rust. I feel like it would need a month long soak in PB blaster before it would...

I've got a '99 Land Cruiser that is by no means in mint condition, but it runs well enough and is a reliable winter vehicle. Lately it's been running rather loud. It's been throwing a cat code for a few years but otherwise been fine. Recently it started having misfires so got new plugs, a new...

This weekend I started ripping out my old carpet to lay down some sound deadening and put in a new carpet kit, but when I removed the wheel well covers I noticed this. I decided to try grinding away some of the loose surface rust and it kept going. It looks like water came in from the...

Looking at purchasing an '03 Land Cruiser with about 140k miles on it. My main concern is the level of rust on the under carriage. Is this amount of rust a deal breaker or not going to be worth the headache of having it cleaned up? How expensive of a bill do you think it would be to clean...
