2004 Toyota Land Cruiser — surface rust underneath a winter daily — Las Vegas owner question

2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, about 127,000 miles. There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without creating a hard coating that traps moisture? If I figure it out I will update the thread.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Two 2004 Toyota Land Cruisers can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “surface rust underneath a winter daily —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Did the worksheet show tax yet? I'll poke at it this weekend.
