I bought my first ever 4x4 and to be quite honest I wish I'd done it sooner, nothing like the feeling of your own big truck taking a massive gulp of air whilst whizzing over any terrain.
I have come a cropper with some minor issues though
Got hot and radiator has split not sure what's happened but putting new one in this weekend.
Previous owner has had a reconditioned head fitted and runs amazing
The sunroof is taped up with duck tape so can only assume it must have been leaking
Both rear arches have started to rust through on the lips and inner edge... 😣
Otherwise not a bad truck but needs tlc |

Welcome to the club
The split rad needs some more investigation I think. Seems a bit suspicious that the previous owner put a recon head on and now it has overheated The big risk with overheating is the head cracking. Might be worth getting it pressure tested and I would be replacing the water pump to, not expensive but rules out that as a problem. |

Thanx for welcome, belt and pump is new
It was filled with plain old water and radiator has seen better days so hopefully that's it |
