60 series landcruiser to look for

[esp22]

Hey guys, thanks for all the previous help. What things do i need to look for when buying a 1984 60 series landcruiser diesel 4.0. It is the 2h motor i believe. Is there anything such as oil leaks, gearbox problems, transfer case problems?rust?Thanks

ive been looking for a sixty myself recently and just about if not all of them have rust in the roof above the rear windows, and alot of them have rust in the bottom of the doors/sills. another common place is around the windscreen and rear glass. as with all cars this old look for the chassis "growing" in between where the C sections overlap. dunno really about mechanical issues other than the 2F petrols drink like fish the 2H deisels go forever if cared for and either of them with and auto is a disgraceful slug. look for excessive smoke from the diesel meaning the piston rings are stuffed.
its not comprehensive but its something. hope it helps
