Check out that the electric hubs are working, as we find that imports have done the mileage of when the carbon brush's are just about warn out. You could be the one that is left with the job of fixing them,

 

[BJ74Guy]

Electric hubs. Crap, id want manual hubs.

[NateFFEMT]

Nope I bought it! And I'll throw a picture on tonight of the engine bay... And I did check to make sure everything worked

 

[NateFFEMT]

Well my truck is conditionally sold! So next step is to go down and get my cruiser!! Im looking forward to the 2 hour drive back to Edmonton with it I should have it friday or saturday i hope! Thanks for all the advice gents, I'm confident this cruiser will be a reliable daily driver and a capable trail rig! Im happy with the way it sits now.... but of course that always changes. So on my to buy list is an OME suspension, ARB front bumper and Kaymar rear.... Also a ladder for the back door. But well see maybe in the spring

Now the real fun begins, endless options and possibilities to get the rig set up just right, whether you use it for its full capacity or not, is beside the point, It's like having a big toy with instructions on maintenance like a mechano set .
If you can read, undo a bolt and spend to replace that bolt, your have many hours of entertainment in front of you .
