Holy Cow!

I feel like I never drive mine!

Not going to discuss the fact I only got 54,000+ miles...

But in that little bit of miles she has seen a lot of action in the woods!

She happens to be my log skidder / log hauler... Firewood that is!

Like someone said before, "GOT GRUNT? "

278K showing ---- Closer to 285K with the 235/85R16 tires

Owned it for 2 years this Sunday, and had 203,300 miles when I bought it.

Have Replaced:
Brakes - 2 Front, 1 Rear Sets
ALL Front End Parts
2-Stock Clutches, 1 SBC DD
Rear Axle Seals
Starter, Batteries, and Alternator
Pump Timed, OF Valve, NUMEROUR oil leaks (which I have now narrowed down to a single one...Vaccum Pump )
Rebuilt Tranny 10K miles ago ... Synchro's "barely" in spec, tooth off 5th gear
Can't remember anything else major

Looking to hit 500K before I quit daily driving it, then I'll figure out something else

Nuttin' to brag about...

78K+ miles on mine. 1 LP (warranty) and 1 set of brake pads is all I've spent money on besides oil, oil filter, & fuel filter changes. Still on the original tires! Its been cheap and paid for since like April '03. Now that's cost effective.

165k on mine, bought it with 104k on it. Had to put brake pads on it, track bar, shocks, 2 sets of tires, new mirror glass, and probably a couple other little things.

Just refinanced the loan on it, so someday it will be paid for maybe.....went from 461.00 to 211.00 and added 9 months to the original length. Dropped the interest to 5%. Good news for me.
