95 land cruiser

[Turkinator]

I’ve been a Toyota Tacoma owner for quite a while. I’ve found a 1995 land cruiser with 265,000 miles on it. It is in really clean and solid shape other than the high mileage. What are some things I should pay attention to before I pull the trigger on it? And would that many miles give you concerne?

Suspension bushings, dampers, engine radiator (has it been replaced yet), transmission radiator (has one been added). Plus the usual "Has it been in a wreck?", "Has it been overloaded (leading to suspension damage)?", "How do the fluids look?".
