I've been pretty tight lipped about this one. Aside from figuring out how to tow it I tried to avoid even thinking about it until I could get it in my pocket. I've been saving/scraping to make it happen. When I was down to !k left to pay it off I called u-haul in Boise, and hit the road.
Now the questions flow like a river......
1. Should I be here?
I know the 40 section flows pretty fast with rock crawlers and mods and mine is more like...... a turtle. A big ugly red turtle that probably won't get modded out (much). It smells like a pinball machine. I figured that means I might be better off with you folks for my questions.
1. How do I find out how many miles are on it?
The p.o. knew NOTHING. I mean nothing too; I'll get to that later. I am thankful and grateful to the man for holding this in his garage YEARS and YEARS without letting anybody else know it was there or I don't think I would have found it. He wasn't a mechanic, and let it go. When did they quit claiming mileage on the title?
How do I find out the history?
I have lots of pictures. I'm going to start a rebuild thread.
932 miles round trip to buy a landcruiser that you've seen in three pictures off the net from a man you've never met and been sending money to for several months?
Only two ways it can go I suppose.
Rusted out tank that won't run and leaks. Problem after problem, guy is trying to rip you off, et.c
or
Oh yes. I'm happy.
