they aren't 35" jungle trekkers, came in 34" max..

does it run rough or blow smoke? if it does it could cost you a bit more to fix..

very cheap, too cheap from a mate, but if he is happy then great, especially as you can trust its history.

if you spent the 500 to get it cleaned up with the panel etc and a basic set of tyres i would say it would be a 4-6000 truck.

For 2k it seems like a good buy it wont have the ride or comfort of the rangie and it wont have the fuel consumption like the rangie either ...

Id give it a go tidy it up give it a good service and drive it it will go for ever and will be a cheap truck to run throw a lock rite in the rear and it will go anywere ya rangie did and some :D :D
Cheers

I`d buy it and like the previous replies... clean it up.. put in lockers, winch and have a bucket load of fun with it... just a couple of questions ... how many k`s on the clock?, are there any leaks of any type? other than tyes... and how clean is the interior? are the seats torn?. is there any cancer (rust) in the body or mounts?.. If no other dramas... snap it up
