I bought my 4Runner from Wisconsin and it has some surface rust. My plan over the summer is to drop various shields/covers from underneath and exhaust, then use wire wheel and various tools to remove loose rust/paint, clean it up well, use rust converter that comes with POR-15, and then finally coat it with POR-15. It won't stop 100% of the rust, but it will slow it down significantly.

This. Combine a "permanent" coating like POR-15 or Chassis Saver and then periodically use one of the oil treatments. Fluid Film seems to be highly recommended. There's a guy in the 3rd gen section who swears by plain old WD-40, I believe he has a very high mileage one that's been in the rust belt it's whole life and the frame still looks fantastic.
The sooner you can get around to removing and preventing, the better. Start with as clean of a frame as you can.
