    This 2007 has come up for sale near me, I've got two main things to think about before I consider going to see it. What do you think of the rust underneath? It's not the least I've seen, but looks mostly surface. The only point of concern is that trailing arm bracket, does it look damaged? The...

    Hi All, I have been reading the forums for a while, but finally signed up. Have done a lot of off-roading, and looking to buy my first FJ. I found a good deal on one out of state, but then found out it spent most of it's time in Hawaii (rust concerns), It looks like they spray painted the...

  5. Dealer Negotiations/Test Driving
    Hi everyone! I’m looking at purchasing my 1st FJ and the current owner sent me these photos of the undercarriage. Is this too much rust? Sorry for my ignorance and newbie-ness I’ve just always lived where rust isn’t an issue and never had a vehicle prone to rusting. This FJ has lived in FL all...

    On my 2007 FJ cruiser above the windshield right on the white part of the roof in the corner above the driver side. There is a small small amount of rust forming which causes the streak to leak down onto my windshield. I will attach pictures because it’s hard to explain in a text format...

    Hello everyone, I am new here and not a mechanic. I do basic preventative work like oil changes and brakes on my Fj. I purchased it a couple years ago knowing how much rust it had. Never did I think parts where going to start detaching from the frame 2 years after buying it. I’ve attached some...

    Hi all, As can be seen from the image, there’s a small plant growing under my front fender! I went offorading couple of times during the wet season, but cleaned underneath the car afterwards. However, I couldn’t reach were this plant is growing from (and still can’t). How do I access this...

    Brand new here and really don't know much about cars in general. I have an 07' FJ 114K miles with semi-severe rusting underneath. Likely due to sitting in NY winters as it was not driven often for a period of time. I took it to a rust/welding specialist who mentioned he could descale and...

    Hello, I’m looking at purchasing my first Fj. The current prospect is a 2007 Fj with 130,000 miles. I wanted to get the communities opinion on whether they think this is worth it based on the rest? I know this is only one of the factors when purchasing a Fj, but definitely an important one. I’m...

    I’m looking at purchasing a 2007 FJ cruiser. This would be my first FJ cruiser and I was curious to see if I could gather other peoples opinion on whether this car has too much rust or not? I have seen quite a bit out there and I would like to see what this community thinks? I’m open to any and...

    Hi all, firstly a huge thanks for all that this community shares. I'm looking to buy a 2012 FJ from a private seller. I've been told to check to for rust damage. Here are some photos of the under carriage that I took -- how does this look like to you guys? The car has mostly lived in the...

    Had the upper windshield molding replaced after it pulled that little disappearing trick while going 80 mph on the interstate. Took the dealership almost 3 weeks to get all the parts together. Anyway, finally got it fixed only to have the new one fly off literally the next day. Called the...

    I'm looking at a 2007 FJ that presented itself recently. It looks good around the body with some rust underneath but mostly surface and some scaling but not rotted. There is rust on top of the fenders under the hood in the engine bay. Not soft but rusty. How concerning are these spots, and are...
  15. Misc. Technical Discussion
    Hey everyone! I am considering doing some rust mitigation to my 2007 FJ before I move up to Michigan and get hit by the hard winters and salty roads. I've watched quite a few videos on how to do this myself, but I wanted to check with you all on what the best approach is. So far, this is my...

    So a little DIY to keep the frame from rusting. My frame had some surface rust (we don't have road salt here), so I decided to remedy it. Now most rust proofing solutions I've seen, have a thick tar-like layer of paint coated to the underneath of the vehicle. The issue with that is that it...

    Got a little impatient in my search for the perfect FJ. I’ve wanted one for years and after struggling for about a month to find the right one, I pulled the trigger on this 08 with 105k miles for $20k. I checked for rust at the dealer and it didn’t look so bad, but after further inspection I’m...

    SUPER MEGA UPDATE: Found a gentleman by the name of Chris Ramos, who happily took on my headache, and gave this car some new life. I left some photos in a new reply, and plan create a more detailed thread. Here's a few quick photos: THERE IS STILL HOPE, MY RUSTY FJ OWNERS! 😃...

    The lower track bar bracket on my 2007 FJ has rusted and the track bar is completely disconnected. Can I buy a bracket somewhere and have it welded or do I need to fork over the money for an entirely new axle housing? any thoughts would be helpful Thanks, TWC500
