    I just picked her up today and couldn't be more thrilled. It's a Limited V6, automatic, crewcab, with 116k miles.

    Thanks, it really seems to be in great shape!

    Today's first mod was to remove its "upgraded" brakes

    I think that this truck is the first truck where I would leave the running boards on. I abhor running boards. But this is a very nice street queen, congrats on the nice truck!

    I discovered a small oil leak today, I think it's coming from the passenger valve cover. I cleaned up the oil and will see tomorrow how much more has leaked out. It's so nice to be able to crawl under the truck and look around without having to jack it up, I'm used to working on cars. :)
