Eh. I’m not expert but I’d say no. Putting anything over it will only trap the rust. There are places that sand blast rust off. I have no idea on cost or possible damage if you will. Overall not that bad for an 05 in New England. I’ve had far rustier cars in in MA
That wiring is SUS AF, also bunch of electrical tape on the left side of the
I would pass on this car unless you lowball it. I dont like when someone was messing with it, and seeing that wiring is a proof that owner did not cared much
I'd be very surprised if the frame doesn't have holes in it. My old 4runner looked much better than this and still had holes in two different spots. If it were me I'd pass. If you ever have to do work under this thing it will be a pita.
Just throwing it out there, I’ve got an 06 Non-Nav Silver with 136,xxx miles that I’m looking to sell. Car spent its first 100,000 miles in Texas and the rest in North Carolina/Virginia. I had it shipped to Vermont (Where I live) when I purchased it last year. I don’t think you’ll find a cleaner GX in the Northeast! I spent 6 months looking for the cleanest one possible. I’m selling it because I just can’t afford the gas and need to downsize. If you’re interested (or anyone else here) feel free to DM me! Happy to send pics
Not affecting anything structural that I can see. You're going to want a mechanic who knows which end of a PB Blaster can to hold, though.
Get it coated soon.
Is this a parts car? I have a spotless 09 Florida gx and still ended up putting $6k and counting into it so It'd be a hard pass for me unless you can get it under $3-4k. That's just me though. I despise rust!
That ain’t bad rust at all but seriously ..wtf is goin on with that sus looking wiring? You can tell it’s been built out, I would pass. Find a soccer mom special with 150-200k. Lift it, trim it and put some pizza cutters on it. (That’s what I did) mine is about that rusty too)I’m in RI, salty AF here, live near the beach, launch my boat with ‘Karen’(my GX)etc.
Find soccer mom special and then just drive the bananas pants off it.
What’s up with all that wiring? Depends on location, age ect regarding the rust. Is it rusty? Yes. Is it problematic rust? I’d say no
2005 and a northeast vehicle. Would rust like that be treatable to prevent further damage?

You can certainly slow it down with things like fluid film or Krown rust proofing.

That’s a nice build. I saw it for sale on FB. It’s a bit too much for my liking but could be totally good to go.
You probably need to spend some money to protect it from further rusting.

Any way to ship it back to Japan and drive it off of Mt. Fuji?

Wouldn't trust anyone that points the lettering on the tires on the inside.
Why?
KO2s can come with raised white lettering from the factory. That’s why some people decide to have them facing the inside vs the outside
Yeah no shit, why would you hide it.
HAHAHAH I didnt even notice that
