    2003 and 189 000 miles. Yeah I loved it, so easy to drive. I didn't treat it that well though and it was thrashed; dog hair everywhere. Time to move on. No doubt it would've got to 299 999 though, when the odometer stops on those things ha.

    How do you like your soft-topper?? I def prefer the look over a permanent cab. But worried about the dog back there, and of course the lack of security for gear. But i like the idea of rolling it up when not in use, and being able to throw things back there.

    Love mine. It's up all the time except when loading camping gear. Having it down makes it easy to load then just put it back up when ready to go. Of course anyone can take a knife and steal something but it keeps eyes off your stuff. You have a big dog? You can get the doggy window for the cab and drive with the tailgate window rolled up. Heck, I've been up to 60 with all the sides rolled up.

    Cool that sounds ideal. Esp with the dog door. Yeah he's 70 lb and a bit of a handful, but typically mellows out when he's put somewhere. Plus with him in the bed, that's good added security!

    Did the "pull the tires off and clean the road crap off the insides of the rims because it started shaking after I washed it" mod. Rear drivers side had a big pile (over a pound) of crap. Rides perfectly once again.

    All of the rims were stuck on so I greased them good before putting them back on

    I bought a Avid light/bumper guard from a fellow TW member, it's getting Rhino Lined this week. I've been looking for a good used one at a price I could afford for over a year. Ill post pics when I get it installed.

    Mornin' Gents! Ain't it a lovely day?! (I'm on 2 week vacation:D)
    Maybe enough free time to get my lift installed, Finally can afford the new tires so planning on doing that all at once.

    Nice!! I would do the lift first, get used to how it drives.

    That way if anything is "off" you will know for sure its not the new wheels/tires

    Just my 2 cents

    Good point, I never thought of it like that. I was thinking of just having to get one alignment.

    With some good tires ,I recommend sliders just in case moments ,and with a good control on the skinny pedal you be surprised on what you can do.
