I'm following along here, thanks for starting this thread. Good luck with your purchase and yeah, I know how hard it is to wait 
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a 99' if it checks out tomorrow. I've taken every piece of advise from this forum and a few other places on the web and created a checklist of things I'm going to go over on the vehicle.
I just wanted to thank everyone here for being a great resource!

it will give you all the vitals. Temp, gas mileage, voltage, etc.
Make sure to check for leaks at the engine of course, but also Transfer Case, and the axles at the wheels
The unicorn is a Sleeved Block from Turner Engineering in England, or a motor that has had its liners pinned. Also, a lot of shops put P38 motors in DII’s. An original engine is not the best option low miles or not.

Not to hijack your thread too much, but I looked at the Kiversand 99 today. It was a wreck. Every corner had damage. dang teenage girl he bought it for.
It over heated a couple of weeks ago on her, they towed it home, but using Toruqe Pro app, I could see the temp climb up to 240 right away. Added some coolant and water and bled it, but it was going somewhere I couldn't find. Didn't seem like it was burning it, but I couldn't find any leaks either.
I ended up walking away. Too bad, the color was starting to grow on me.
