looking into purchasing a 100 series. Advice needed

[93yotasr5]

Hey guys

Thinking about crossing over into the 100 world. I am currently looking at a 1998 uzj100 with 280,xxx miles. It has lived its entire life at the dealership for all services. the vehicle looks good, interior is fair and minor body dings and scratches. I am not concerned with high mileage on the 80s, But I do not know enough about the 100's to say otherwise. what other things should I look at with this higher mileage 100?
here is the link to the service history. Let me know what you guys think.

I just bought my first cruiser! It's a 98 with 230k on the dash. The interior looks like it's brand new and the truck has had 2 owners. It's been well taken care of. I ended up paying $5,900 so I'd guess the price you're about to pay would be pretty fair.

Looks like timing belt was last done at 203k. It's about due for another.

 

[bluecruiser]

If anything I think the 100 is a better high mileage rig. I went to an 80 from a 100 and am a little surprised by how many more things I'm dealing with. I had 225k on my 100 when I sold it. No leaks, ran strong. It's all a bit of a crapshoot but I wouldn't hesitate on a 100 with maintenance records.

 

[93yotasr5]

How hard of a job is the timing belt?
On a banana scale. 1-4
