honestly, I'd buy it back in a heartbeat if it didn't have rust. He's added sliders, rack, lights, new tires, etc. I'm just not into working on rigs with rust, and it did come from PA/VA before I brought it to AZ in '05. That's really the only downside to it. Oh, and the paint was wearing bad 2 years ago, but the PO before me painted it Dune Beige over the factory green. if that bothers you. There's a few FS ads in the classifieds (mine, and BKFJ40's who I bought it from), and of course I have more pics and info if you want it.
I was thinking about looking at it, and just looking at the ad I figured it might be a Mud member or figured someone from Mud would know about it, and lo and behold here you are.
What's the extent and location(s) of the rust that would make you leery of buying it back?

No real body rust that I was aware of, just undercarriage and misc. bolt rust. It just made PM's/repairs more of a chore than I liked to deal with. BTW, I sold it because it was my 3rd car, not because of any rust/issues. I put in a blue base fan clutch, headlight relays, the Hellroaring dual-battery setup, etc. I sold it and our minivan and upgraded to a 100 series.I was thinking about looking at it, and just looking at the ad I figured it might be a Mud member or figured someone from Mud would know about it, and lo and behold here you are.

Y'all can argue if that was an upgrade or not...From 2009. I'm not responsible for anything after that, but there's some good shots of the undercarriage, and engine bay.
