"Reliable and great off-road"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced the original 22R engine at 211,000 for better gas mileage and performance. Most repairs have been related to the engine swap or part of the 4wd buildup (lift, running gear upgrades, etc.) and to fix a roll over accident.

General comments?

I love this truck. It never leaves me stranded, looks good, is comfortable to drive and ride in, and gets decent mileage (18 - 20 mpg with a 4" lift and lots of weight in it from parts, tools, winch, dogs, camper and running the A/C).

I was curious I'm looking at an 86' SR5 4cyl that the engine was rebuilt and has approx 60,000mi on it and I was wondering is it gonna cost me problems with ball joints cv joints etc. and if so is it gonna be really spendy to buy and fix myself. Also am I gonna have a major lack of power with it only having a 4cyl or are they peppy little engines. I would appreciate it if you could help me thanks.
