Cheers everybody.

Found a 96 2wd with 54K Miles
Not much rust, but I already snapped one of the bottom bolts while replacing front shocks. Drilled and tapped the lower control arm and wasn’t happy with it so just ate the $60 at Rock Auto for a new one. After inspecting everything up front, I’m doing rotors, pads, ball joints, etc. I’m sure I could have eeked out many more miles, but since I have everything torn apart new stuff is going back on. Passenger side brake piston was seized. Everything else was just 22 years old.

Probably should have gotten a 4wd but the worst terrain I hit is gravel roads to motorcycle and ATV trailheads.

Rear leaf springs are pretty saggy, but everything else is in good shape and not much else needs immediate attention.

I always appreciate suggestions for improvements/mods, so let me know if you have any. At some point, I'd like to try a lift plus bigger off-road tires.

During the winter, I like to fix up old Yamaha TW200s.
