Hello, Im Connor
Im new to the forums and just picked up my 99 UZJ100 LC 4 days ago. Im living in Georgia and picked up the truck in NC. It spent a good portion of its life up in Massachusetts. I don't know the maintenance records from the PO, But the car runs strong and overall feels healthy sitting at 182K. I was working with a tight budget and picked up the LC for $7,400. I have never purchased a vehicle from up North and was curious about the extent of my rust damage. I had two LC owners give me the ok before purchase, but now I wanted the MUD communities opinion. Any tips or advise to help me extent the life of this beast well past 400k would be greatly appreciated.
After purchase we found 4 exhaust leaks due to rust damage (and the clips holding the O2 sensor in place barely holding). The new sections of exhaust and the muffler have just been added. (you can still see sections of the old exhaust pipe)
