Too much rust? (1 Viewer)

[shayne92]

Hi, very new to land cruisers and really like the 80s series. There's one I have my eye on but this is what the underside looks like. Looking for some advice - too much rust and forget about it? Or rust isn't that bad and it's fixable? Thanks!

what rust??
in my opinion 80's have the best cruiser frame out of all of them. i'd look at the body, rockers, tailgate mounts, etc.

What rust? Looks pretty clean from the pics.

Either you took bad pictures, or that's pretty rust-free.

all exhaust pipes end up like that in the long run, especially with off road use
frame wise look perfectly fine

is the rust in the room with us? that frame looks amazing basically rust free, and like the others said all exhaust pipes look like that after a long time which I assume is what you were pointing out and its completely fine!

Was ready to type " if you gotta ask, then yes, it's too much", then looked at the pics.

I agree with others above, looks pretty rust free in the pics.
Could use a clean under there

Exhaust looks normal.

What's going on with those side step brackets? Looks like angle iron. Are they welded to the frame?

Yes. That frame is a goner. Where is it located? Asking for a friend.

That’s super clean. If the exhaust corrosion bothers you can take it off and have it coated with cerakote or jet hot etc.

This ^ and like @mudgudgeon said: "What is up the side steps" ??? That is more concerning than anything else I see under there.

Definitely not a northeast truck

Definitely too much rust.

Let me know where it is, I'll buy it for salvage and strip it.
