Hey y’all, I’ve been looking to get into the cruiser game for a while now and finally have a chance to actually do it. I’m looking at a specific cruiser that spent the majority of its time in Idaho and I am definitely concerned about the rust since I’ve never had to deal with it being in Southern California. I am looking for some advice on what to look for or test before I decide to pull the trigger. Thank you in advanced!!
Now onto the truck;
here is the ad copied straight from the seller:
“Great running and driving land cruiser, lifted 2 inches with spacers, castor correction bushings, new tires, center diff lock only, good a/c and heat, I believe everything works as it should expect for the rear wiper, engine light is on has code 71 which I believe is egr flow, front diffs leak, selling because I really don’t go off-road and would like to get something a little more highway friendly $6000 obo Possible part trade gx470 lx470 or 4th gen 4Runner ”
I’m not going to lie, I don’t know Jack s*** about cruisers or much about 4x4s since I’ve only built racecars and not trucks so there may be some spoon feeding needed here and for that I apologize.
The seller is asking $6k and is willing to have my buddies shop look at it for a pre-purchase inspection. Does the rust look like it could be a major issue?
