Mine looks somewhat of the same as yours. I just recently bought mine without taking enough time to look underneath. I Looked at the Rear Lower Control arm and saw that it was solid. Thought that was good enough. Im Thinking of doing the wire wheel, a pneumatic needle scaler, and maybe the Naval Jelly. The Drive shafts are also pretty rusty, im able just use the Wire wheel on them right? Then the front suspension I cant really tell what is worth saving. Not sure if I should take everything apart and Wire wheel the control arms and paint. Or buy entire new front Suspension. Decently would buy shocks and springs all around. But my concern is the control arms and Gussets. There also is a good amount of rust on the front driver shock tower area, right next to the UCA. Don't know how solid that is.

Basically what Im asking you all if you think this is worth the effort The frame is solid. Its a 2000 Limited 4runner with about 159k
