I think it's pretty clean, obviously some use on it. Never understood why people lift and put big tires on small engine 2wd trucks, but to each their own..

I'd be curious how the 2.3 moves those 33s, probably okay but not everyone will want to drive with that setup
 
33s are U-joint busters, If broken lots of them. On a small truck they are just silly. In this state it costs you more "road tax" the higher your bumpers are off the ground. With a 4 banger thats even sillier.
 
I love the truck, but I do not think the 2.3 Lima has enough low-end torque to move the large tires effectively -- not to mention there is a loss of fuel efficiency, which is what the Lima was essentially designed to have.
 
Geared appropriately with 4.56's or 4.88's it would drive fine, but not sure the use on a 4x2... I didn't look at it so don't know if they said what gearing it has...

Mall crawler.
 
It has a cold air intake... thats all I needed to see. Pass...

Though it is evidently unnecessary, it would be fine if it were installed properly -- despite the infinitesimal power gain, if any were observed.
 
I like the color and it looks in good shape.
Have them put it on a lift so you can see the underside
