Had it checked out personally by a 4x4/jeep specialist. Guarantees frame is in excellent condition. Suggested to get fenders and floorpans fixed asap though. Interior plastic trim also has some rattling, will look at same time as floorpan rust removal.
Some things do need work though:
- Front brake rotors & pads are worn
- RMS leak
- Significant play in ball joints
- Clutch pressure plate(?) is worn
- Full fluids flush
I think I will be going ahead with this and get this worked on over the weekend! Will pick up tomorrow morning and drop off to my guy.
Going to negotiate a lower price after that check. PO was priding himself on the rear brakes...but front are completely worn out, and with the RMS leak I think I can get it quite a bit lower.
Easy list to repair, and if the RMS is only a minor leak probably not worth the cost to repair. Do you know what engine oil is in there?
What did the specialist say about that extra hole in the skid plate, and the different bolts used?
