Question from a new member

Hi Guys,
Been lurking around and learning for a while here, Used to own a 96 Hilux Dual cab with 2.8, Great car, 2 inch lift all terrains etc, and one paratus seat. Sold it once I got a work car, but now looking for a new 4WD
I am looking at a mates landcruiser, 91 Model, twin lockers, compressor, ARB bar, Oh and a 6.2 Chev V8 Diesel just to top it off.
I have a few questions.
As this truck still runs the toyota radiator, can something such as twin AU thermos be run to help keep it cool (it gets a little hot in summer)
Can a new 76 Series bonnet be fitted to it? It will allow for a little more hot air to escape.
Will a 80 series center console fit?
Cost wise, how dear is it to run 33's to 35's.
My main aim for this truck would be a weekend tourer, carry my bikes around, Pulling the ski boat, possibly a horse float and be used to get me around daily.
the ute has been mainly used as a service/farm ute, as they run a contract harvesting business.
What would be a good price for this truck, They want $14,000.
Am I wasting my time?
And thats about it really, any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Sam
