I posted this in the detailing portion of the forums for help with the rust problems. I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me with the rest? Thanks!!
This is my 1997 SR5 4Runner. It has 161,500 miles and the previous owner did not take much care of it. I have had it since 142,000 and have babied it the entire way. There are a few things I want to take care of this week, and hopefully you guys can help me out. First thing. Rust. There are a couple of small rust spots that I want to take care of before they escalate into something I can't handle.
This is the first one and it is one of two located on the roof.
This is the second on the roof.
I am not sure what I can do, if anything to take care of those spots... Any suggestions?
The next order of business is the driver's seat. It has a large tear in it and I was wondering if anyone had a particular preference for seat covers- I've heard wet okole's are the best. Any others for our trucks?
I have had some pretty bad luck with the truck lately. Somebody decided to borrow a part of my rear passenger side rim. Not sure what part it is called- anyone? I need to replace it because it looks really bad in person.
The last thing I need to figure out is how to remove my running boards with a clean cut. The back part looks great, however when I move towards the front- the front fenders end before the paint does on the truck. This is a bit hard to describe. The diagram shows the problem. When I remove the running boards, the areas between the red dotted lines are just part of the truck- and I'm looking for some sort of fender cap, or something to make it looks like the fender extends another 3 or 4 inches. I'm sure someone knows that I mean.
I really do appreciate any help that anyone can give me on this. Thanks in advance!
