quote of the day:
The round flowing fenders of this vehicle have been lovingly reconstructed by a Dutch craftsman out of, what could be considered the most precious material on earth, bondo

It's 25 years old & rusted, it's not going to be. You can't buy a 25 year old truck and expect it to not have problems.

Unless you do your own labor then you need to expect 2-5k in repairs & maintenance per year. Just the way it is.

Buy it then next thing you know none of the front suspension has been replaced, then 6 months later the transmission starts slipping, 3 months later fuel pump goes out etc

That's why you buy a 25 year old truck and do all the maintenance and repair at once lol

God these noobs posting advice is hilarious

Id check around to see if you can find something a little newer and taken care of for a little more. I purchased an 03 fx4 that was seldom taken care of, I've had to change shocks, leaf spring mounts and shackles, fluids, serpentine belt, and the whole front suspension should really be redone. If I didn't do my own work it probably would have cost me a small fortune for the repairs. If my 2003 with 74k miles when I bought it needed those things, I wouldn't doubt you're walking into something that could cost you serious money, even putting the work in yourself. Check around, don't jump the gun for something that could cost you in the long run.

Thread started in August, 2015. Wonder if he bought the truck or not, and if he's had to make any repairs in the last year?
