Found another LJ to look at and was hoping some expert eyes would take a look. I see some light overspray. The water pump, valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket were replaced under 50k and there may be a minor rear seal leak. It was in a minor accident a while back with frontal damage. Thanks in advance!
Do you see any issues under this LJ?

Some of that "rust" might be red clay. The frame looks good on the outside. Put a finger in each hole and feel the bottom of the frame. A little sand isn't bad, but crusty rusty flakes is bad.
It has a transfer case skid drop. That's usually not needed on an LJ unless it's lifted several inches.

And it's yellow. That will get you some loud opinions going both ways.

And probably a nickname like big bird
Yellow Sucks!And it's yellow. That will get you some loud opinions going both ways.
My opinion- scope the frame.
- if you buy it have some money for body mount bushings (they are cracked) , control arm bushings, sway bar links, etc- it appears to he stock and nothing has been replaced- and you know it is at least 17 years old. It likely needs serviced and steering parts and some minor things like most of them do at this stage.

It isn't, and I hit mine with a coat about every two years. But it also could be hiding something. I simply was advising to give it a good looking over.
