Hello everyone, I’m new here as I’m still in the market for a 60s series. I’m looking to hopefully be guided in the right direction. At the moment I’m looking at this one for 8 grand. There is extensive rust Obviously as in the pictures shown however I noticed you can buy entire parts of the...

I am flying to pick up this cruiser this week and wanted to know what everyone thinks of the rust. It’s a 1982 fj40 and I’ve wanted that year for a while now. However I do not want the rust. Does this rust warrant a new tub or am I being dramatic?

Hey mudders, I'm considering trading my 2019 4R TRD ORP with 14,500 miles for a 2008 Toyota J200. It's located in Illinois and the interior and paint/body look nearly brand new. My concern is that the vehicle spent its entire life in central Illinois and the chassis looks to have a significant...

Hi all, I recently got an LC, but it has some slight surface rust. I plan to tackle the rust with evapo-rust, rustoleum primer, rustoleum enamel spray then finish with a CRC heavy duty corrosion inhibiter. In order to get as much surface area as possible, it looks like I'd have to dissemble...

Hey folks, sorry for the noob question. New forum and 100 series owner. I was inspecting the engine bay more intently and found these rusty looks sections. I was wondering parts these were and if I should be worried about the amount of rust there. Thanks!

Hi mud h8ers, I have a really stupid question. I am trying to close a leak in my exhaust system at the flange where the catalytic converter meets the muffler. Can the converter retainer on the exhaust system melt? My 1997 has a pretty rusty exhaust system, and I replaced the gasket, bolts, nuts...

Hey guys, Looking at starting a rebuild on my 62. I just wanted to get some input on the rust of the vehicle at the moment? Thanks for your time in advance! C

Hey all, I just recently got a 1996 lx450 to turn into an overland project, not sure if this is the right place to post something like this since I’m new to forums so I apologize if it’s out of place, the model I picked up does have a couple rust holes near the windshield, and I’d really hate to...

I recently started restoring my dads old 1988 Hj75 ute to its former glory. The body is extremely rusty, and currently doesn’t have a roof on it, but the engine is in surprisingly good condition, (nothing can kill an old 2H engine). Yesterday and today i got to work stripping the interior and...

Hi All! Total noob in the market for a 3rd gen. Any thoughts on the rust on this truck? Thanks!

Looking for some feedback form some of you whom may have encountered frame rust before. I am currently looking to purchase my first GX470 and make the plunge into overlanding. I've been looking for about 6 months and I think I've found the one!! Or so I thought. A almost perfect interior with a...

I have my rear mudflaps off of my 62 while building up the inner wells. Both of them are in decent shape and am going to repaint lettering while off, and clean them up. My question is one of them appears to be without the inner metal/tin plating, meaning it's flopping excessively. Does...

Well, the 4x4 Lab rear bumper has been on for a bit over a decade. It was put on by the previous owner and the time has come to show it some some love in the form of rust repair and new powdercoat. After getting the bumper off the 80's frame also needs some rust repair, especially the passenger...

I have nearly finished my 8 year 40 frame-off resto. When starting I had only rattle-can painted, but after reading on the net, and get my youtube exam, I started shooting. Results are OK. Since I have a blog on overlanding and technical stuff I made a writeup there. It is pretty long.. How to...

Just had a test drive on an 80 this morning. Original post here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mn-1997-land-cruiser-fzj80-factory-lockers-228k.1180699/ The truck runs good without any noticeable mechanic issues. But the body is not that satisfying. I know it’s Minnesota, you cannot ask too...

I'm looking to own an FJ80 these days and found this guy near my place. But the rust issues seems not good. I've attached pics from the seller trying to get an idea of whether it's still fixable. The listing price is around $3k. Let me know what you think of this rust.
