In the south, looking at an LX in the north. Rest of car is clean and checks out. Any issues with any of these underneath photos? Thank you in advance.

It looks pretty good to me. This rust is superficial and you can probably remove and stop it - or at least slow it down - with a few hours of care.

I agree - doesn't look bad. A weekend with a wire wheel, paint, and fluid film should keep it at bay for a long time, especially if you're taking the truck back south. But you're gonna break some bolts when working on that thing, so be prepared.

I agree with everyone else. I'm from Maryland--so thats not bad at all. Wire wheel really good once, then fluid film once or twice a year and she's good to go for a long time

Look closely at the rear frame crossover where it joins the long frame rail, drivers side. There is no factory drain hole and this is where they hold water and go bad. It sneaks up and all of the sudden there is a hole in the frame that you pick at a bit and can put your hand through. PM me for more if you want.

Don't buy a northern rig, you're in Austin. There is no reason to do this. DFW is filled with opportunities.

I'll piggy back on this thread. Thinking about picking up another LC for the wife. One showed up locally, anything concerning about these pictures?

Yeah, instead of removing most of the rust then applying a converter + paint + fluid film (or similar), the owner just painted over the rust. Wouldn’t be surprised if the paint started flaking off with chunks of rotten metal.

Thank you. Appreciate the heads up.
