Just purchased used truck, major issues to check for?

I just bought a 93 extra cab 3.0l 4x4 200,000 miles. Besides basic mechanical tune up ( fluids, plugs, plug wires, breaks) any outher ishues i should look out for. And any bigining upgrades i should do.

The best advice i can give you, is search around the site alot. Read through build up threads to get ideas of what you want to do.

There`s lots of things you can do to your truck, the only limiting factor is how big your wallet is. Go to the build section and start reading what others have done to there trucks, and then decide were you want to start and go from there.

I was working for a fab shop building desert buggies and trucks. SO i plan on building a longtravel ifs that retains 4x4. Something like total chaos but with boxed lower arms. Im just woundering if thieres any gremlins that i should look out for or any problem areas where i should start. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend.
