Welcome to the forum ! It looks reasonable for the money , as long as the rust issue isn't a concern . You will feel like the Jeep is an unicycle , since you're moving from pickups ! I know I did !

Welcome! Where about in S FL are you?

Thank you. No rust to speak of. a few electrical issues, but I'm thinking it's a solid project jeep or even a daily driver. I like how here in south Florida there are a ton of jeeps and most people who drive the older models seem very knowledgeable about Jeeps. I'm sure I'll have more questions to come as I get this thing dialed in.
