My new truck!
Just came in on the truck around 11 AM.
2000 4Runner tastefully modded.
I got really lucky. I paid for it on Fri, and happend to find a trucking company to pick it up Sat! I had read so many horror stories on shipping. Things really turned out great. I drove it and it drives nice. Just need to get a couple things buttoned up and some of that NY rust cleaned up. Until then, it will be sitting in the garage.
Any suggestions on what I can do to slow down/stop the minor rust underneath?
The pup's aleady getting attached to it.

Thanks guys. I'm stoked!
I had thought about POR 15 but I'm looking for something that's easy to spray since I will be underneath the truck and some areas won't be easily accesible. POR 15 is usually sold in cans right? Also, I read if you don't use it or most of it in 1 sitting, it turns into a solid. Link.
Anything else that's maybe not as good as POR 15, but still good?

Nice work! Is that Desert Dune? That is my all time favorite 4Runner color.
As far as rust issues, I've heard people say those Rust-o-leum (spelling?) you can pick up at Autozone/Pepboys/etc. work pretty well.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I haven't really driven since I got it. I want to get the rear diff fixed and also the starter is taking a few times to turn, so I learned that means new contacts. Will hopefully do that today, and the diff this week. Other than that, it doesn't really need anything else. Interior is really clean too.
cackalak han, yes it is the desert dune color. One of my favo 3. Desert dune, anthracite and green. I like the big limited flares on it too. Looks awesome.
sn0wrunnin, I don't have any of my own pics, but I'll post one up from who I bought it from.
Will probably get started on the rust this wknd.

Body colored flares drool
those blend very nicely to give it a clean look on the sides
can't wait to see this in person.
I am ready to do starter contacts myself...
pleasure to meet you

Oh shoot Scotty, sorry man, I thought I replied to that msg but I see I didn't. I could not get a day off during the week to take it to your shop. I ended up dropping it off with someone who I met through COTTORA. Should be done tomorrow.
