What kind of budget do you have? Look out for rust on the rear floor pan, and remember you'll need mud terrain tyres.

They tend to rust where the rear wheel arch meets the floor pan...easy to cut out and weld in new metal. Mine cost £500 with a years (fake) MOT and it had massive holes in the rear...fixed that in 2 hours. Most I've spent on it was £380 for new tyres.
