Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well, the time has come, and to remain competitive I have decided to bite the bullet, instead of the BJ being my only streetable car and my only wheeler, i have decided i need a trailer and a wagon, to tow the BJ, SO

i have looked at a lot of vehicles, NAMELY:
80 series
75 series
60 series
45 series
patrol wagon
maverick wagon
some F-trucks

well all the toyotas, are either too old or out of my price range.....sadly, as i would like to use a toyota..

so I have come to the realisation, that i need to buy a cheap diesel wagon, around the $10k to $12k mark, anda trailer, to take me up to $15k, which i cna now get thanks to the sale of my mini, yeah, the little brick was delivered last night :( cya bye!!!

cmawwwn guys, hook me up with a nice wagon, i want something bone stock, or something an old man did touring in, nothing, like what some young stoner has owned it (named BJ) and relentlessly flogged it into the ground, and needs everything replaced (NOT me though another BJ)

anyways, what are the major problems, with these beasts, what am i looking out for in terms of rust, and flogged out pinion support bearings?
broken gearboxes?

WHAT
WHAT
WHAT??

anybody dealt with GQs?
particularly, late 80s, early 90s, diesel, grampa wagons?

Found one for ya. An absolute steal at $35k

Seriously, they are pretty solid mechanically. Pretty rare to see transmission or diff problems in them. Jack the front up and check the front wheel bearing play, they are hard on these bearings and they cost pretty big $.
Expect some rust around the rear sliding windows. Check under the drivers foot area of the body and make sure the seams haven't started to seperate. The bodies are pretty flimsy & that seems to be the first place they start to let go..

tell PTR00l thanks....but no thanks

PTr00l appears to have a swollen roof, and the body has more than 'let go'
