Front diff nugget, housing and cv's are all weak. Rear axles are also weak. Inner door handles, main beam dip switch and cracked heads on the 1600's. Other usual cheap car worries but generally a lot of bang for buck with good comfort.

Haha for the way you drive I would say you will be in the same boat as your Bighorn. But then if its just around the farm it should be sweet.

If you drive like Ray, don't buy it one. Buy a tank or a HMMWV instead.

SJ's/Samurais are pretty bulletproof, might be worth looking at? Can get cheap ones if you keep an eye out on trademe, I bought a complete running one for $700.
