I do AALLLL the time. I think she mostly hates it because I love it and spend so much time and stuff on/with it.
On a fun note, I rolled over 266,000 miles yesterday.

Took her to the Mts. for the last time. I'm being forced to sale her because we are moving to Japan....

Fixed my leaky exhaust by drilling out seized stud on manifold and putting a bolt in its place. Oh, for smaller hands.

Changed oil post seafoam upper engine clean.

It was so cold I ran the truck awhile just to stay comfy underneath.

Just installed new tires.

Anteres Mud Diggers. Super Cheap, and look great! Hope they wear ok. $532/set + $10 ea to mount and balance.

They are 265/75R16 and fit perfectly under the truck. They fill the wheel wells nicely. NO rubbing at all on stock suspension! They will still look fine after my 2" lift at some point.

Slightly noisier than my Toyo Open Countrys. (PS: I've got two Toyos with 80% tread left for sale: Stock size.)

I'll post pics later today.

Default Brake Disks

Installed new disks and pads and whilst onto it new Timken wheel bearings.
Nothing special like ventilated or grooved but still better than the ones that came off.

Went to rebuild seals on the drivers side swivel pin and ran into a road bump, the swivel pin housing, or whatever the correct term for it is, was rusted and pitted to the point it was just leaking around it and would have destroyed a new seal in no time. So I guess I'm just replacing that, along with all the bearings and seals on that side and the pads and rotors.

I think Will Tillery has the newer black coated swivel *****. Rovahfarm may as well.

Ok, here are photos of my new tires. They are Antares Mud Digger 265/75/16. They don't rub at all, and look awesome (in my opinion). $532 for a set of 4 Plus $10ea to mount/balance.
No Lift, Stock Suspension.

After Change:

Hooked up the electrics for the IronMan winch that I got from Tactical Rovers. The clearance with their front and rear bumpers is great.

Thanks, but I already had them order from one of our suppliers. I guess I should have looked around on here first
