It really depends on what you gonna do with this car. If you're looking for a reliable vheicle that can take you from work/school or home, you're definitely looking at the wrong car. If it's for personal fun such as off road or do dounuts, yeah, this is the one to abuse.
From my opinion, a lot of old 4x4 v8 were abused especially those with monster tires. You also have to avoid lowered or modified trucks.
