[s-cars] Car Advice

[JenRob]

Having owned 2 fj-40's in the past they would be a really cool vehicle for 
island living-however- their extreme propensity for body rust/corrosion 
(BTDT)  in any humid climate- let alone a salty humid climate would limit 
their attraction. unless the prior owner had done an alloy tub conversion. 
the fj-60s rust less- but still rust.  -rob
