Is this too much rust ? I might purchase this truck but would like some opinions.

Thanks in advance.

How many miles? Mine has 203000 and I've been working on wore wheeling the frame and using por frame treatment on it. My frame looks like that but my axel is way worse. I don't think that looks to bad. Any holes in the frame above the control arm mounts?

IT'S ONLY GOT 145k. IT LOOKS GOOD ABOVE THE CONTROL ARM MOUNTS. THE REAR PUMPKIN LOOKS OK TOO, DON'T YOU THINK?

Yes like I said my pumpkin might last me two more years. If you have the will to I would pick it up and in your free time wire wheel the loose stuff off and use some paint to cover it up and then use a frame treatment to keep it good. That's what I'm doing on mine.

HERE IS ANOTHER PIC:

Not bad though it does look like the rear brake line has been replaced at some point.

I have seen and wrenched on much worse.

Check front of the frame too near the first cross member on the side closer to the CAT.

its another over looked area.

Yea I've seen worse. Here's a picture of mine. I have some paint on the pumpkin.

I have been using this stuff for at least the last 15 years. Wire brush the loose rust off and brush or spray this stuff on.... it's the consistency of white milk and instantly etches into the rust and turns black. you can paint over it if you want but don't have to in areas that don't get sun.
When we lived in PA i used to paint half a rusty metal fence post and leave it for years and the painted part rust never came back.
Expensive and i've had the same gallon for all that time..... this stuff spreads very far. I even tried it on rusted quarter panels and it stopped the rust.
Do not remove the rust as it's needed for this product to work correctly
..... Your truck doesn't look all that bad and i highly recommend this stuff over just paint

I didn't think it looked too bad either. I was just trying to get some more opinions from some more experienced forum members. I appreciate all the replies. I really think the truck will last for many more years. It is a Thundercloud Sport Edition and the body and interior is in excellent condition.

yikes!!! Scares me

On face value, it doesn't look that bad at all. Mine is/was a lot worse although I am in the process of grinding all of the rust off and using rust reformer and paining it. What I have found is although mine looks terrible, once you hit it with a grinder you realize that the rust is just on the surface. I am about 80% done on the entire vehicle and have total confidence that it will last for many, many years to come.

Every year I'll go back under and clean up any new areas or areas that need to be redone. Find the worst area and give it a good whack with a hammer, you'll know right away if its solid or if it's rotted out. Based on your pictures though, it should be fine just get it addressed.

It's not bad, mine is worse.

This is your solution https://parts.camelbacktoyota.com/pa...iagram=8414140

Money ready and do it by yourself

Good luck , look painting is not a solution because the metal will start bent

Or

Find a good frame on LKQ junk yard

Just try and take a wire wheel to it and take off as much as you can and then paint over it. Itll look brand new! You'll never have to think about it or look at it again. I did it and I definitely recommend it! It's worth it if you care about your t4r.
