rust

Hi, Just looked at this LC with 200k miles on it. It’s the 4.5L diesel engine What do you think of the rust situation? It’s spent most of its life in the Netherlands without much snow

I live in a part of the country that sees a lot of rust - so I want to ask the pros their opinion on this undercarriage. Looking at buying this southern owned truck it’s entire life but is honestly too clean and appears to have too much consistency between the frame and fasteners. Please let me...

The fasteners on my burgundy FJ80 is VERY rusty. I have replaced some that were damaged and have rejuvenated ones with light surface rust on the wire wheel. I then got the bright idea to see if I can use a tumbler. First try was with kitty litter as media (FAIL). Then I bought the HF resin...

I would appreciate any input you guys could give me on this. Looking at a low mileage '07 LX470 with some rust on the undercarriage. I've attached some pics and would greatly appreciate your feedback. Buy or punt? Thanks!

Hello all. I got my first 100 series a couple weeks ago, 03 LX, which is completely rust free except as I recently discovered where the front of the 3rd row seats connect near the wheel wells. I searched but didn't see anything so I'm not sure how common this is. I assume based on the carpet...

My red FJ80 has some rust and I have been working diligently on repairing. There are a few spots around the wheels and rockers. I have tried several shops asking for a weld and repair. They all turn me away, saying that it is too big of a vehicle and they make more money with smaller...

So I'm working on taking off my old bumper and recovery points to put on an ironman bumper and I broke the inner welded on nut, so it just spins and spins now. Any ideas or suggestions on how the heck to get the bolt out now? It's the far-back one in the picture and the cover on the frame end...

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...
