Welcome to :suzuki: clubUK matey

Rust is your enemy, well unless you can weld so look everywhere and everywhere again when you go to look at an SJ, I'd also advise taking a jack and jacking the wheels up to check for any play/rough bearings. Check all prop ujs for play etc. these aren't too expensive to fix but bargaining points for knocking off some money.

There's a nice low mileage example in the for sale section at the moment, however it does need welding but the price is good!
