I had the same situation with an FJ—looked okay from pics, but once it was on a lift, it was a rust nightmare. Get a pre-purchase inspection before you commit. People here are helpful, but photos never tell the full story.
What year is this thing?
They’re definitely trying to cover something up. Bring a screwdriver if you even think about looking at it again.
Yup. That’s done.
It almost looks okay at first… and then bam, huge hole. Seen too many sellers paint over rot lately.
What year and how many miles?
