I was up north hunting and i found a Cherokee for sale, its a 85 4 cylinder 4 speed. The owner told me it sat for 6 years in the woods. He got it running a few months ago and drove it for a few months. what do i need to look out for because it sat for so long. The body does not look rusty, but he did tell me there was a little rust on the floor board. If any one has any thoughts i would be thankful.

 

flat spots on the tires is one thing

 

make sure he changed all the fluids. after sitting for so long i would want new fluids in it, also check the floor boards really good the rust like a Bi***

I would look it over for overall condition,and make sure it runs good and drives. Then I would go through it from top to bottom and front to back,change all the fluids,make sure rodents have not chewed the wires,change rubber hoses that have dry rot,flush the radiator,and inspect for any oil leaks. Basically just have fun.
I would also make sure there is no mildew.
