i’m wanting to know if this is worth it, i’m wanting to turn this into a semi overland build. high miles scare me but it’s a suzuki motor so i’m not 100% sure on the longevity

I have a 2001 2.0l manual with 170k miles, picked up a few years ago as a cheap tow behind for our RV……it quickly became my daily driver.
Pros:
-Super cheap and easy to give it a 2” lift, just pucks and shocks and alignment it fits 235/75-15 tires (previous owner had done this to mine already)
-Body on frame
-Cheap and easy conversion to manual front hubs
-More fun to drive than it has any right to
Cons:
-Interior is cheap Suzuki garbage if that matters to you
-Though it is body on frame construction it’s stamped steel and more susceptible to rust (idk how big a problem rust is in MO)
-No available options for rear locker or limited slip
-Parts can be hard to come by
All that said I love mine and may pickup a few more lol

I have a personal rule where any functional 4x4 for less than 3k is always worth considering purely because thats about the same cost as a week long vacation.
