I was playing with the idea of getting a cheap and proper shabby 80's offroader to dunk in the mud (and never, ever wash). This seemed perfect. Inexpensive, modded suspension, looks well beaten up but the owner claims a healthy frame and oily bits. Has a 3 litre petrol engine and a manual gearbox as well.
Seems like it'd be a pretty cool thing to own.

looks like it is within range of adjustability, as far as the alignment which is fucked.
Nice old trucks those were if it wasnt rusted out

Looks like it's lifted too high and the stock top control arms are not long enough to correct the geometry. Maybe

Check the frame. Japanese trucks and SUVs use a fully-boxed frame instead of the C-channel frame that American trucks and SUVs use. The frames rust out because dirt will get inside and trap moisture, and you can't clean it out.
