    So I know this is a newb question but I wasn't sure how to go about searching this on the forum. Is there any major maintenance I should be looking forward to if I just hit 180k? I bought the truck a year ago on the 18th of this month at 160k, and so far all I've had to do is spark plugs. The dealer put brand new 02 sensors and cats as well as a fuel pump on the truck when I bought it due to a pending cel but haven't had any trouble out of it since then. I don't have much of a service record on it, Carfax didn't give me much when I bought it.

    Any help/advice will be awesome, and thanks in advance.

    Worked on Hondas before? The 1GR has a timing chain, not a belt, at the earliest you might want to check the chain around 250k.

    OP, put it up on stands if possible, and wiggle the tires as much as you reasonably can, if theres loose play at all your ball joints may be excessively worn, does it ride any different from the day you bought it? Jump on the bumpers and watch the rebound. Otherwise if you haven't noticed any unusual bumping, grinding, or odd noises/vibrations and have kept up on your fluids (including transfer box, differentials, and tranny fluid) don't worry too much about it.

    While it's up on stands (if you need the extra clearance that is) get under there and look for anything out of place or leaky.

    Otherwise enjoy! You are the proud owner of an excellent and reliable truck.

    Thanks man! I bought it bone stock and now it has 5100's/885's, 285's and bumpers front and rear, and no sway bar so it definitely rides different haha. But rides as it should for what's done to it. I'm getting new UCA's soon so that'll take care of the upper BJ's and I'm replacing the lower BJ's here in the next month or so. All the fluids are kept up with religiously so I guess I'm good. Thanks again!
