    Off Road Pkg #1, 115K miles. My new hobby, love this stuff! Now that it's just past the break-in period :) , I'll go thru it good, keep him right. No mods other than a brush guard. Will probably take that off, makes it harder to get into the engine bay.

    Lots of reading to do, this site is great so thanks for all the hours and hard work to all of the contributors.
