I've found that Toyotas die up here from rust quicker than anything else. I swear their metals are thinner or not as corrosion resistant to salt. I know you feeling OP.
I had a 97 4Runner that I loved, bought it wrecked. Cleaned it up and rebuilt and sold for $3k, paid $150 for it.

Sorry to pollute but these images blow my mind. I replaced my 6.5L due to ROT, not engine failure.

Now this one, I actually had a rot hole in my manifold about 6 months before my scheduled engine replacement. Got some exhaust putty and fiberglass and banded with a hose clamp. Never blew out with 14 PSI.

Also had pics somewhere of my JB Weld'ed oil pan. Had about 4-5 rot holes in it and leaked a half quart a night. Things you do to get by...
I just read today that a Japanese metal manufacturer's CEO resigned, they had been falsifying the specs on the metal they produced for 5 decades.
