An 88 Samurai to be specific.  Going by the ad, it has 60k miles, 2 inch lift, tube bumpers and Dayliters... What should I look for on it?  Any specific problem areas?


I got a friend going to look at this truck tomorrow. Was wondering if anybody could help out with some info on what to look for. Thanks

That would be me.

I'd also like to ask about the Rocky-Road 8" TrailBlazer lift.  I'm thinking about going with that if I get the truck.

Rust and trail damage/abuse
a little oil leak is OK

Clutch in ok shape, no chatter
on takeoff, pulling left or right
and strange tire wear/feathering
could indicate it's been in a accident

Price is the other thing, if you feel
you are getting your moneys worth
