Buying an Sj

Post by AshR1 » Fri Jul 19, 2013 1:25 pm

In a few months i'm looking to buy an SJ410, i'll use it for work on the farm, casual minor offroading (nothing too hard just a bit of fun) and when i take my dog out so its going to be used a fair bit, i thought i'll use the time i have before i look for one to get some info on what i should be looking for when viewing to purchase (rust in places, chassis ext).

If anyone can give me any pointers or tips on what i should look for that would be great thanks.

Have a read of this Article, it details most of the things that you need to look out for, I have got pictures to add still but it is still quite detailed.

P.s. If anyone notices anything that I have missed/should include let me know :thumbup:
