Where you live Is a big factor how your bottom looks

got my crawler out rolled around with a flashlight To check out my 2015 LX570 north Florida based vehicle amazing how it looks like it just rolled out of factory no rust just clean I do run it through a car wash with the bottom blaster every week and it’s never been in a salt environment which is a big factor how does your bottom look

Love the tread title.

I'm so jealous of your southern vehicles.

Periods won't kill you. Or any punctuation for that matter.

Im interested to see some northern 200s and hopefully they're not going the same route as the Tacomas and 4runners

The 200 I bought spent a couple of years in Texas and the rest in Georgia. I was very happy with how it looks underneath.

Mine is from Arkansas. Very clean underneath, but I have to deal with it's Ozark accent.

Since I’m not a girl I don’t like dealing with periods especially when you have a big !!!

Commas won’t hurt either .

Seriously let’s see some northern 200s all rusted out!!! Or maybe not that bad, hopefully

What is this garbage?!

What is this garbage?!

We’re looking for rusted out frame garbage. Or maybe im the only one. Maybe it’s not a problem amongst 200s

I would love to see a northern vehicle like Chicago area that hasn’t been taken care of other then washed it would be enlightening to see what the rust protection is for the 200 shirt

My 2011 spent most of it's life in southern CA and is now in GA. It was 6 years old when I bought it. When I did the under carriage inspection, it was almost as good as new. This GA rain and red mud have taken care of that...

It is, just not to Tacoma frame replacement levels.....yet. My 09 was built in late 08, it does have surface rust on the frame and suspension, but nothing I'm to worried about.

KDSS Valve, that it the biggest issue so far on the 200's with rust.

Lower control arm bushings, the bolt/bushing fuse together making an alignment impossible.

So 200s in winter states with salt rust more.....weird....

When I own my 95 80 series and several 100 series except for the last one I lived in the rust belt every year I would get underneath it and remove all the rust and repaint with restoleum it got to the point that I really didn’t have much rust to remove because I did this every year people just need to be aware of it. Take care of it before it gets bad if you have service rust get rid of pain that protects the metal there’s also other ways to protect the bottom of your cruiser if you live in the north
