Default Advice on 91 cherokee

Hey,

I'm totally new to classic Jeeps, I have been looking one for a long time and finally taking the plunge!

I am looking at the below (attached some photos/basic info) and want to know what I need to look out for when I go and view it.... And how concerned I should be about the rust underneath etc.

Km- 268,800, needs new u joints but that's the only reported mechanical issues.

Any advice welcome!

carefully inspect ALL bushings, u joints and ball joints. Make sure the leaf springs are not broke or cracked any where. Same with coil springs.

Thanks so much Angie! I'll be sure to do this. I assume this would be an expensive fix/unfixable?

The lift looks like it was put on correctly, and fairly fresh. Check the uniframe carefully especially at the rear leaf mount points (I notice there are no picks of the rear part of the uniframe. Check very closely above the gas tank and the very rear of the uniframe where the bumper mounts. Also inspect the floor pans from the bottom side.
