Hi,
New to the forum and 4x4s in general, but I am looking into getting a J100 and finally getting into overlanding, after many years of backpacking, hitchhiking and relying on public transportations around the world.
I found an offer for a 2004 Toyota with supposedly good mileage and very competitive price.
I have a VIN number, but what is a reliable place to check for service history, etc?
I also received a surprising number of underside pictures and there is my concern - seems to be quite some rust. Car is from Latvia, so I assume salt.

Is it too bad? The rear differential seems to be leaking? Is this salvageable?
