Hey guys,
My cousin is about to buy himself a 4wd (1st 4wd for him) He is unsure as to what to buy and I figured It best to ask you guys what to look for with the 80 series. I myself am a GQ owner but love the 80 series as well. Much respect for these beasts.
So asking on behalf of my cousin as to what to look for when buying.
Hes after a 4.2 TD manual. hints on rust spots or issues that can tell if its had a hard life. He is prepared to pay top dollar for a good one so money is not an issue or so he tells me.
I just wanted to help him get a 4wd without ending up spending thousands on a lemon or exhausted work horse.
Maybe you can give me some links to sites where they already have a list of things to watch out for. He is an apprectice Mechanic knows his stuff and willing to expand himself on his new passion being 4wding.
My reason for leaning him towards the 80 series rather than the GQ is simply because the GQ struggles to tow a camper trailer and I know he will get one later.
Thanks in advance guys.
