Nice wheel and tire combo. The fender flare looks like fiberglass, it should be easily repairable.

I'm guessing that they are not stock flares. They look a lot wider than ones I have seen.

A couple more pictures to look at.
Only rust I can see so far is on the bumper. Are there some common areas prone to rust?

Gutters.
Almost every single one of em, sooner or later. You have an advantage that it's black (captures heat, evaporates the water from the internal gutter)
If they aren't rusted through or repaired already I would pull the roof lining and flood it with your favourite rust treatment/inhibitor. Get frisky with a drill and make so water can drain out of it. They're 3 layers of steel bent stupidly together. I'll try and find a picture.
Lower rad support. Just because.
The lower shelf of the chrome bumpers, especially if it's been used to launch a boat/ on a beach/ anywhere they salt the roads for ice and snow - sand/salt piles up under em.
Wheel arches (same reason)
Sills/ body door rails, whatever you call em. Where the bottom of the doors close to. Also just because.

Ah, and those "running boards" or "side steps" or "pretend rock sliders" whatever they are...also tend to rust off, given the chance.

The spare looks at least 33, if not 35" and to clear that with plenty room to spare... she aint stock

My Safari is finally arriving tomorrow. Just have to deal with paperwork and pay some import taxes.

well the beast has arrived. A dead battery missing precleaner box, needs the rubber hose from precleaner to filter and I need a bunch of clips for the grill/fascia. Not bad for a 30 year old vehicle.
Pictures or it didn't happened!
