1980 J10 Laraedo

Here is a J10 Jeep I'm looking at, for $1500. It won't pass emissions though, which means $200 of work at least. The main issue is we don't really NEED a truck. So the real question is how much do I WANT a truck? It runs nicely, but I wasn't impressed with the 4WD system. It wasn't easy to put in 4wd, and I couldn't tell if it was really in low range -if it was the low range is really high, especially compared to the Jeep J10 stick-shift granny low range gears,which are like tractors. Here are some pics, a side view, other side, front , and at the failed emissions test.
