goin to look at acouple this week, one of them im really interested in. what are the major problem area's i should look for? any bad rust area's (besides floors) i should check for? anything mechanicaly i should be looking at?
Steering gear boxes always leak, Front Track bars always like to work loose. Thats all i can think of. Good luck.

i did square headlights, they let me down :cry:
SEE!!!!!
Hmm.. The ones I can note, at least with my Jeep:
1) Front sway bar ends where they link to the axle are plastic and if you go over a curb thats too high they will break off (sarcasm).
2) Front steering gear (right under the front bumper) leaks.. Mine has gotten so bad theres a large puddle under my Jeep everyday and I have to refill it everyday..
3) Rear trackbar bushings blow out and then they rattle (Don't know if this is common or not but mine blew out relatively quickly after I started wheeling).

I have found that playing with my TJ causes a lot more nagging maintenance issues than playing with my YJ - the better road ride seems to come at the expense of brute strength.
