    Now i wish i would have gone with a switch panel instead of cutting holes all over my dash. I just dont want to give up my cubby hole! But maybe ill put a cb in there instead since i dont want to give up my ash tray...gotta keep my change somewhere.

    It's called a debit card;) haha I hardly ever have change anymore, but I would just keep in it my pockets then empty them into a jar on my dresser every night.

    I always have more bottles and cups in my truck tuan my cupholders can handle as it is! Cupholders are valuble in our trucks! One day i plan to do the 01-04 console swap like madjik to be rid or my retarded square cupholders.

    I have one too lol. But i still like having cash for food and cant stand lugging around a pound of change all day, so i just dump it in the ash tray.

    There's not much you can't buy nowadays with a debit card though. haha Even most vending machines take them nowadays!

    Also you need to upgrade to a 2nd gen then;) I have 13 cupholders plus a little cubby that works great for change on the left of the dash and a big cubby below the climate controls and another one to the right of the shifter.

    Nevah! I'll almost bet my truck is probably in the top ten low mileage 1st gens on the site. Only 75k, so You can pry the keys from my cold dead hands! Ill make due with my pathetic cup holders haha. Maybe ill find some clever place to install more someday. 1st gens are what mini trucks are all about imo. Maybe ill find myself in a 2nd gen one day though. For now ill keep mine ;)

    My yearly average is still much lower yours. Almost half. haha Just over 19K on my 2005.
    Miles only really matter for the drivetrain, so I would say whatever is on the motor. haha
