cheers, I can check all that stuff out, but am not sure of any things rangie specific that needs checking, and not sure of what price is reasonable to pay for a decent example

Same as most vehicles, rust in floor/ sills/ a pillars/tailgate, put the transfer in low and check for major clunks ( most can be fixed by tightening the suspension bolts) steering box will most likely leak ,if it doesnt its empty ! Thats a nice looking car and worth a look, i think the only real costly problem would be either the auto or the viscous transfer as these are virtually a throw away job (VC). It would be a really nice tourer.

Seen that Rangie on there. There's a green 93 Vogue SE for $6K on carsales as well which is even better buy.

If I had no maxi's and so forth fitted to my beast, I would definatley be keen on both. I've owned a 93 Rangie in the past and they're a superb unit, even with air suspension fitted which makes the Rangie that much better.

Hi, the Transfer case is great, just a few leaks that i'll fix for the RWC.
I've just bought a Prado, since i don't get off road much and the mrs's wanted something newer.
I'll be sad to see the Rangie go. Apart from a few small incidents she's been a great truck.
Do you want to buy it Matt???
