That looks fine to my non expert eyes. All the sway bar links look ok and the bolts aren't all gnarled and crusty. I actually wonder if the all the black paint is actually a spray on sealant/rust preventing layer? Just double check the age of the timing belt. Probably last thing on your mind but if you're gonna crash you'd rather be in the fozzy rather than the Jimny.

The timing belt was done 50,000kms ago, so it's probably due? I'm no expert on these things, I let the mechanic tell me this stuff. And I had that same thought on the subject of safety, the Jimny does look like it's made out of old Coke cans. 😬
And yes, that bubbly looking stuff looks like a protective coating as opposed to rattle canned rust.

You know what? The more I look at the pictures of the underside of that Fozzy the better I think it looks! Have I really got that much shit in my eyes?
