Outer Limits 4x4 Board

there's been a 1999 petrol landcruiser sitting in my old mans' neighbours back shed for the last 12 months, she says theres something wrong with it but isn't sure if it the motor or gearbox, i'm going to have a squiz at it tomorrow and wave 3 grand at her and see if i can take it home,
any one got any ideas of common problems these things have? cheers

Does the motor make noise, does it start, does it move, etc etc, a few things to narrow it down would help.

yeah i'll give it a going over tommorrow, just not sure if these engines or boxes are a hand grenade. curious to know how much replacements are also. even so, if she takes a couple of grand for it i'll still be laughin

1fz and box are the strongest points of a 80/105.. doubt there would be much wrong with it!

so if there is something wrong with the motor its probably reeeeeealy bad
