thanks!!!

i'd prefer a tin top version over the soft top. (not sure on the lingo.) love the green laning scene mods, but 99% sure it be for road use only. it'll help me cart about my two spaniels, daughter and camping gear and let me keep the RS for fun/sun

:welcome: to :S:cuk matey!


Nice RS :guns:

If you need any advice about what to look out for in an SJ then just ask!

The main thing is body rust! have a good look around the arches, sills (look behind the plastic trim on samurais!) and around the floor where it raises up behind the seats (lift up the carpet if it has them) this one is the most expensive/time consuming bit to repair!
Basically give it a really good look over for rust everywhere ;)
