Was browsing the local craigslist and stumbled upon a 1980 CJ5 with plow for 2800. Haven't gotten the details on mileage but it looks like it's in pretty good shape. 4cyl 4wd 4 speed manual tranny. What are some thing I should look for when I go look at it tomorrow night.

If youre dead set on it, look at the frame, the leaf springs and the frame mounts for the plow for rot (not just rust). The salt eats thos bad boys up and the front end gets mangled with a plow on the front. OE suspension isn't really designed for the constant abuse of a plow longterm.

Sagging, deep rust and pitting will be dead give aways.
