Dormant surf

[jcuff86]

Im looking to buy a surf which has been sat for around 6 months. I jump started it today seemed to be fine idling and not smokey or any rattles. Also had a drive and all electrics and gearbox seemed fine. Just wondering if there is anything particular I should be looking for as I'm no expert. James

Mine sat for five months and as ive been working away and i just jumped in her started her up and of we went no problems apart from a bit of rust on the brake discs which disapered after a couple times of braking.

I think a lot of people underestimate the hilux as they are tough as old boots.

Bit if you decide to buy it best to give it a oil and filter change and good service and im sure it would be fine if you have checked like you would if buying any other vehicle

Cheers for the help, tyres all need replacing anyway, thinking about BF Goodrich A/T's unless anyway knows of any good alternatives?

I reccommend BFG's if you have the cash.
