I found a 2.5 for sale for a good deal and wanted to know if there is anything to look out for. Are there any specific problems or worries.
Thanks.
Ray.

Off the top of my head:

when was the timing belt/water pump last done
have the valve seals been replaced
rust rust rust
make sure it goes through the gears (2 high, 4 high, 4 high locked, 4 low). It is a mechanical thing, once the lever goes into place, each of those ranges is engaged.



do a bit of searching here in expo but also 4x4wire trail talk forums... the wire has a lot of useful threads on this very topic
